US DoD Receives Unexpected Donation During Shutdown; Germany Covers US Military Salaries
In an unusual turn of events, the US Department of Defense has received a substantial donation during the recent government shutdown. The donor, described by President Trump as a 'friend' and a 'patriot', contributed hundreds of thousands of euros. Meanwhile, the German government has stepped in to cover salaries for thousands of US military's civilian employees in Germany, demonstrating solidarity during the shutdown.
The generous donation came amidst the ongoing US government shutdown, which has left many federal employees without pay. The donor, a close acquaintance of President Trump, made the contribution as a show of support.
In a separate act of solidarity, the German government has ensured timely payment of October salaries for thousands of US military's civilian employees stationed in Germany. This move, while not explicitly described as a donation, is a gesture of goodwill towards the US forces and their civilian staff affected by the shutdown.
