Fox News: Brief government shutdown ushered in before Christmas as Senate works to advance House bill
A partial government shutdown began after Congress failed to pass a stopgap spending measure before the deadline. The Senate is working to advance a bill that would fund the government through March 14 and include disaster aid, although criticism from some conservatives has complicated negotiations.
Despite the shutdown, essential services like national security and disaster response will continue. A new version of the spending bill has been passed by the House and is expected to gain Senate approval soon, minimizing disruption.

Donald Trump may push NATO allies to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP, more than double the current 2% target. His team has indicated that European nations will need to increase military budgets as he shifts the burden of the Ukraine war onto them.
Only 23 of 32 NATO members currently meet the 2% target. Trump has criticized allies for relying on US defense spending and emphasized the need for the US to concentrate on the threat posed by China.
