Here’s what could be affected if the US government shuts down again
The federal government is on the verge of partially shutting down, with Senate Republicans and Democrats at an impasse over funding the Department of Homeland Security after the recent fatal shooting of a US citizen during a protest in Minneapolis. It would come less than three months after a record-long, full government shutdown ended. Now, federal funding for many — but not all — government agencies is set to run out after January 30, which would force them to shut down if lawmakers don’t reach an agreement.

From home.treasury.gov|Jan 29, 2026This Report assesses developments in international economic and exchange rate policies over the four quarters through June 2025 (the official Report period) and more recent developments where data are available. The analysis in this Report is guided by Sections 3001-3006 of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (1988 Act) (codified at 22 U.S.C. §§ 5301-5306) and Sections 701 and 702 of the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015 (2015 Act) (codified at 19 U.S.C. §§ 4421-4422), as discussed in Section 1 of this Report. Treasury reviews developments in the 20 largest trading partners of the United States over the period of review.

When a trading partner engages excessively in foreign exchange market interventions or other actions to artificially lower the value or suppress appreciation of its currency, this distorts market-based competition, promoting domestic production and exports and suppressing imports in ways that do not reflect the productivity of economies or competitiveness of traded goods.
