Current Situation in the U.S. (2026)
1. DHS (Department of Homeland Security) has been shut down for over 75 days with zero funding since February 14.
DHS funding lapsed on February 14, 2026, resulting in the longest shutdown of a single federal department in U.S. history.
2. Impact extends to core infrastructure for daily life, including police, fire services, disaster response, and airport security.
3. Orders from local governments—which do not qualify for government subsidies—plummeted from 280 million to 210 million, resulting in an 11.3 billion yen drop in sales. Urgent measures are required to increase the order backlog.
