Nuclear agency workers face uncertain future as shutdown enters fourth week. The US government has announced plans to furlough thousands of nuclear agency workers due to the ongoing partial shutdown. The move is expected to further strain already overwhelmed staff, who are working long hours to ensure the country's nuclear infrastructure remains operational.
President Donald Trump stated that the nuclear plant workforce would continue, but many workers remain uncertain about their jobs as funding continues to dwindle. This decision has caused significant concern among some lawmakers and industry experts, with many citing the potential risks of a prolonged shutdown on national security and public health.
The partial government shutdown, which began in December 2018, is now entering its fourth week. The shutdown affects more than 800,000 federal workers, with around 200,000 receiving back pay when the impasse ends. Despite increased pressure to end the stalemate, a deal between lawmakers has yet to materialize.
In related news, Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine is not seeking direct military confrontation with Russia, but wants to continue diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict peacefully. The Ukrainian president emphasized the need for unity among Western nations in response to Russian aggression.
