Odaily Planet Daily reported that according to foreign media reports, Tom Cole, chairman of the U.S. House Appropriations Committee, said on Tuesday that he is pushing for a stopgap measure to postpone the threat of a government shutdown this month until November to buy time for funding negotiations. Congress must now reach an agreement by September 30 to maintain government funding, otherwise it will face the risk of its first shutdown in many years. When asked about his preferred stopgap timeline, Cole said he hopes to see a stopgap measure "until November", that is, to freeze funds at current levels while lawmakers negotiate a bill for fiscal year 2026. Cole said that lawmakers are specifically discussing postponing the deadline to at least November 6, but he added, "We will be before Thanksgiving at the latest, such as the 20th." (Golden Ten)
