Government Shutdown Threatens U.S. Economic Growth Amid Investment Surge

U.S. Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, expressed optimism about the American economy’s sustained growth despite a wave of investment, attributing its momentum to policies implemented by former President Donald Trump. However, the current government shutdown is posing a significant challenge, as it has stalled economic progress and threatens to impact the U.S. GDP negatively. According to Yellen, the shutdown is costing the country approximately $15 billion in output daily.
