【Trump: The government shutdown caused massive damage】

On November 12, 2025, Washington time, US President Donald Trump answered questions from the White House press corps before signing a funding bill to end the government shutdown in the White House Oval Office:

The shutdown caused by Democrats caused massive damage. 20,000 flights were canceled or delayed. They deprived over a million government employees of their wages and federal food stamps, which were used for millions of other Americans in need. Thousands of federal contractors and small businesses had no salary, and accurately calculating the total loss would take several months.
