His 14 million US unemployment benefits are declining after Donald Trump refused to sign the latest law to reduce the economic impact of the Covid-19 epidemic. Another consequence of the presidential “no” may be that a third of government agencies have to close due to lack of funding.

Later than expected by many, but in mid-November, the Hungarian government also decided to try to curb the second wave of the coronavirus epidemic by introducing restrictions. At the time of the decision, 5,000 new infections had been identified per day and the number of deaths from the virus was mostly between 50 and 100 in 24 hours.

And some government agencies could close because Democratic and Republican lawmakers have linked the Covid package to a funding bill that provides $ 1.4 billion to run federal government agencies.

The crisis is not their fault, it is China’s fault, “Trump wrote in his Twitter post. Governments can only continue to function if representatives of the two main parties find a quick solution to the financial crisis.
