• Alert content: On July 22 local time, during a speech in Georgia, US President Trump said that due to disagreements between the Republican and Democratic parties on spending priorities, a federal government “shutdown” is expected in September.

• Related background: One day before Trump issued the warning (July 21), the US House of Representatives, controlled by the Republican Party, passed a short-term funding bill to provide funding to federal government agencies until December 4, in order to prevent a “shutdown” before the midterm elections in mid-November due to funds running out.
• Potential impact: If the government shuts down, it could affect services such as paying the military and law enforcement personnel, food safety programs, air travel, and passport processing.
