US lawmakers pass bill to fund government until December
The U.S. Senate approved a bill to extend government funding until December 11, preventing another government shutdown before the November elections. This extension does not include funding for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency and the Customs and Border Protection agency, reflecting differences with the House of Representatives' decision, which includes their funding. Past government shutdowns have led to the cancellation and postponement of thousands of flights, with a 4% decline in flight numbers, while airports experienced widespread disruptions and increased concern over mass resignations and the impact on infrastructure security.
