Rodong Sinmun Derides Continued Government Shutdown in U.S.
Pyongyang, March 3 (KCNA) -- The government shutdown in the U.S., the second one in the past three weeks, is a laughing stock worldwide and showed the wretched plight of the U.S. on the decline, says Rodong Sinmun Saturday in an article.

The article goes on:

The government shutdown is a product of the political confrontation spawned by the reactionary bipartisan ruling system in the U.S. and an inevitable result of the serious crisis of the U.S. economy which has plunged into an irretrievable structural contradiction due to its war policy of aggression.

There were such shutdowns during the Clinton and Obama administrations. At that time only one man had to patrol the 8,900 km-long border with Canada.

Such case has become a commonplace under the Trump administration.

Now the Republicans are unilaterally taking the initiative in both houses not like during the Clinton and Obama administrations.

However, the present administration's government budget bill can not pass Congress. This is because the Trump administration is being forsaken by even Republican lawmakers.

The political camp of the U.S. is suffering from serious dissension and division. Festering division deepens confrontation and conflict in social relations.

It is not fortuitous that those who advocated America's hegemonism yesterday are concerned of its fate. The consecutive government shutdown heralds the tragic destiny of the imperial boss.
