The US government has been shut down for nine days after Democrats and Republicans failed to agree on a stopgap funding bill before the fiscal year deadline. The administration of US President Donald Trump and Republicans blame Democrats for using the deadline for political leverage, including funding healthcare for undocumented migrants.
