Trump blamed the Democrats for the shutdown and estimated its damage at $1.5 trillion.

US President Donald Trump estimated the damage from the shutdown at $1.5 trillion, blaming the US Democratic Party for this. He wrote about this on November 12 in his Truth Social network.

"The Democrats have cost our country $1.5 trillion with their recent antics to maliciously shut down our country, while putting many at risk — and they must pay a fair price," the publication said.

It is noted that the Democrats are trying to draw people's attention to the Epstein case, thereby, in the opinion of the American leader, distracting from more important and acute problems.
