US government shutdown enters 36th day, becoming longest ever

The U.S. government shutdown entered its 36th day on Wednesday, surpassing a record set during President Donald Trump's first term in 2019 to become the longest in American history.

Public services have been brought to a halt since federal funding lapsed on October 1, and with Congress adjourned after rejecting the latest attempt at a solution, hopes were dashed that the crisis could be resolved before reaching the milestone.
