US government shutdown: Senate fails to reach immigration deal

US government shutdown: Senate fails to reach immigration deal

The anniversary of President Donald Trump's inauguration has been marked by a government shutdown, after the Senate failed to agree on a spending bill.

It will try again early on Monday to vote for a deal, with immigration the main sticking point.

Republicans and Democrats are blaming each other for the deadlock, but public appears to be focusing on the president - with #trumpshutdown trending on social media.

Al Jazeera's Mike Hanna reports from Washington, DC.
