In the United States, the national budget is running out.
For this reason, some operations of national agencies have been suspended.
Due to a lack of budget, the government is unable to pay the salaries of employees at each agency.
The government decided who would continue to work without pay and who would take a leave of absence.
People who have resigned will also have their salary payments stopped.
The government announced that, even if the budget runs out, operations related to the lives and safety of the people will continue to be carried out.
Meetings to determine the national budget are continuing in the National Diet.
