"Government Shutdown Looms: Defence Department Halts 165 Projects Amid President's Crackdown. In a move that is sparking widespread concern, the Defence Department has announced that it is stalling 165 projects, citing the president's recent efforts to reform the industry. The decision is seen as a major blow to contractors and employees who will now face uncertainty about their jobs and the future of their projects. As the administration steps up its push to overhaul the defence sector, critics are accusing the government of using the reform efforts as a pretext to slash spending and undermine the industry's influence."
