U.S. Government Shutdown Negotiations Show Progress Amid Funding Discussions

Negotiations between U.S. President Donald Trump and Senate Minority Leader Schumer are advancing to prevent a government shutdown. According to BlockBeats, initial plans involve separating Homeland Security funding from the appropriations bill, while legislation for military and health projects is expected to pass before the Friday midnight deadline. Congress is considering a short-term funding extension for Homeland Security operations to prevent service disruptions and allow time for drafting new legislation. Market predictions indicate positive impacts from the negotiations. Polymarket data shows that as of January 29, 2026, at 12:54, the probability of a U.S. government shutdown this Saturday has sharply decreased to 40%, marking a 29% drop within the day.
