It is clarified that the suspension of work (shutdown) of government departments at the federal level occurred at 00:01 on March 23 (07:01 Moscow time). Moreover, the day before, on March 22, the US House of Representatives approved a series of amendments to the bill providing for the allocation of funds in the amount of about $1.2 trillion. The funds are planned to be used for the work of the main part of federal departments until the end of the 2024 fiscal year (ends in the United States on September 30). The bill was submitted to the Senate, which had to vote on the document before midnight, before the bill was signed by US President Joseph Biden. But the vote on the bill did not take place due to Republican objections to some amendments. Democratic Majority Leader Senator Chuck Schumer of New York clarified that during the debate it was possible to reach agreement on the bill. It is expected that voting on the document will take place in the near future. Earlier, IA Regnum reported that US President Biden on March 1 signed a temporary bill to extend government funding.
