According to CNN, President Donald Trump?s conflict with Democrats which has led to a partial U.S. government shutdown, has now escalated even further. This week, Trump denied House Speaker Nancy Pelosi the use of military aircraft for an overseas trip, reportedly as an apparent retaliation for her suggestion that he delay the annual State of the Union address. The rising tension among parties suggests that the government shutdown, which has just surpassed its 27th day, remains far from being resolved.
