US: Democrats threaten shutdown

The US: Democrats threaten a new shutdown over the Minneapolis shooting scandal, CNN reports. Already six Democratic senators have spoken out against the appropriations bill due to a clause on funding the Department of the Interior, emphasizing that the funding is linked to the incident in the southern state. According to Senate group representatives, further funding may be delayed until a more thorough investigation is conducted. Supporters of the bill argue that allocating funds to US educational and tourism programs should be legal, but opponents see this as a way to exacerbate tensions over the case under consideration.
