Latin America's largest airline files for US bankruptcy

  

Washington, D.C. – The White House was the scene of a key meeting between President Donald Trump and the leaders of both parties in Congress. The meeting concluded Monday without significant progress toward preventing the imminent shutdown of the federal government.

For just over an hour, the parties attempted to reach a consensus that would allow for the approval of the necessary funding to keep government operations running. However, both Republicans and Democrats remained firm in their positions, reducing the chances of an agreement before the budget deadline.

The failure of the negotiations increases uncertainty about the functioning of federal agencies and foreshadows a scenario of administrative paralysis that would affect millions of citizens and public workers across the country.
