US government shuts down after Senate fails to pass spending bill

The United States government has partially shut down after last-ditch efforts by lawmakers to pass a spending bill failed.
Republicans and Democrats could not agree on how to spend money on public healthcare, and the two sides were no closer to a compromise after weeks of negotiations.
While the US government has partially ceased operations more than a dozen times since 1980, President Donald Trump’s threats to use the funding lapse to dramatically reduce the size of the public sector have raised the prospect of greater disruption than in past shutdowns.
