The US economy is losing up to $15 billion daily due to the ongoing government shutdown. This was announced on October 15 by the head of the United States Treasury Department, Scott Bessent.

The shutdown was introduced in the United States on October 1 due to the fact that the draft budget was not agreed upon by the senators. The Washington Post (WP) reported on October 10 that the administration of the American president has already begun to dismiss federal employees representing trade, finance, health and social services, education and homeland security.
