The 2018 government shutdown lasted for 35 days, from December 22, 2018, to January 25, 2019. It was the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. The shutdown happened due to a funding impasse over President Trump's demand for $5.7 billion for a U.S.-Mexico border wall, which led to a partial shutdown affecting about one-fourth of government activities and furloughing around 800,000 federal employees. The shutdown caused significant economic impact and disruption to federal services.
