Donald Trump faces deadline to avert government shutdown

After 100 days in office without passing any major legislation, US President Donald Trump faces a week with a deadline to avert a government shutdown and the possibility of progress on health care.

Trump has spent his first three months coming to terms with the slow grind of government even in a Republican-dominated capital, and watching some of his promises - from repealing the nation's health care law to temporarily banning people from some Muslim nations - fizzle out.
