US Secretary of State Marco Rubions has said that the partial closure of the Federal Government weakens Washington's position in international relations and threatens US security.
"The Democrats of the Congress have decided to close the government. Their actions dictated by party interests are disrupting America's position in the world field and threaten national security, "the US Secretary of State wrote on October 1.
The US Federal Government (USA) has partially suspended its activities due to lack of funding on October 1 (Moscow time at 07:00).
This happened because the representatives of the ruling republican and opposition Democratic parties in the US Congress are unable to reach an agreement on a number of expenses, including in the field of healthcare.
