The partial halt of the US federal government lasted 22 days on Saturday, and the most important effect so far of the fall of the arm between President Donald Trump and the Democratic opposition is the longest stop of American history. Given the budget impbade and the construction of the wall on the Mexican border, the current government closure exceeds the previous record recorded between 1995 and 1996 under the presidency of Bill Clinton.
A quarter of the federal government does not work and 800,000 civil servants are without pay, while funding for some areas of government does not go through Congress. From one side of the standoff, Trump said that he would approve this year's budget only if congressional members include in the bill nearly $ 6 billion for the fence. which, according to him, is the solution to prevent illegal immigration to the United States.
On the other hand, the House, which now has a majority of Democrats, does not agree to include the figure and release the money, saying the policy of Immigration and government arguments about it are misleading and are part of a "fabricated crisis".

"President Trump must stop holding the American people hostage, stop creating a crisis and reopen the government," said Speaker of the Lower House Nancy Pelosi.

They will pay with the incredible trade agreement we have with Mexico and Canada, "referring to the NAFTA replacement treaty, which saves a free trade zone between the three countries.
Trump's maneuver to raise the wall, even without the endorsement of the Democrats, was placed on the table.This is the possibility of triggering a national emergency, which would allow him to use funds for military work to build the wall and get out of the deadlock with Congress.
