[White House: Partial Government Shutdown Cost $2.5 Billion]

On March 22, 2026, Washington time, the White House released a statement on the social media platform "X," stating:

The partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has lasted for over a month. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which falls under this department, has suffered the most severe impact, with its employees unable to receive salaries for several weeks. Over 400 TSA employees have resigned, resulting in losses amounting to $2.5 billion.

It is worth emphasizing that earlier that day, DHS reported that airports from the East Coast to the West Coast are experiencing serious delays, hours-long security lines, and missed flights.
