Perils of US govt. shutdown
The US government shutdown could hit the foreign aid programs and their recipients hard. Even the world food price could be affected due to the shutdown as the US Department of Agriculture would be unable to produce latest crop estimates. Farmers and traders all over the world rely on this estimated data. Stoppage of producing the crop estimates could cause huge swings in the price of grain and other major agricultural produces.
The US Congress should resolve the deadlock to settle budgetary differences in the greater interest.
