In a significant political move, House Republicans are planning to avert a government shutdown by proposing a new plan that would extend funding until December 20, despite earlier pushback from Donald Trump. This revision comes after previous attempts failed, with current leadership acknowledging that the situation requires a pragmatic approach. While the measure has garnered support from both major parties, it has also left some lawmakers discontented, as it discards key provisions they deemed essential. Critics warn that such back-and-forth negotiations could further undermine U.S. creditworthiness in the eyes of rating agencies.
