WASHINGTON, Jan. 12-- As the clock struck midnight, the U.S. partial government shutdown over disputed congressional funds for President Donald Trump's border wall entered its 22nd day on Saturday, marking the longest government closure in U.S. history. There is still no compromise in sight, no deal, and no easy alternative. The president vowed to veto any spending bill that does not contain the 5.7 billion U.S. dollars he is demanding to fund a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, while the Democratic lawmakers vowed to block any spending bill containing any kind of wall funds. Neither side seems willing to back down. |
