The U.S. government shutdown 2025 has officially begun, leaving hundreds of thousands of federal workers without pay and critical services frozen. The political standoff is already fueling concerns over America’s economic outlook, global trust, and long-term governance stability.
Beyond Washington, global crises add to the uncertainty:
- A 6.9-magnitude earthquake in the Philippines has caused widespread devastation.
- Ukraine has raised alarms over a “critical” nuclear threat amid ongoing conflict.
- Israel has issued an apology to Qatar following a deadly strike that heightened regional tensions.
As the shutdown drags on, the world is watching closely to see how the U.S. navigates its internal crisis while global challenges intensify.
