Political turmoil in the US government that provoked led to a partial government shutdown, was still in focus because Trump doubled-down on his pledge not to reopen the cabinet until he gets financing for his southern border wall. Following a Christmas Day video conference with American troops serving abroad, US leader told that he doesn’t know when the cabinet will be reopened. From his point of view, it makes no sense to have it reopened until the southern border wall with Mexico isn’t ready yet. The wall is expected to guard the United States from drugs leaking to the country from the neighbor through the border.
