Conversation: US government enters partial shutdown for first time in 7 years NHK

A: Hey there! Got some news, you heard?
B: No, what's up?

A: Well, the U.S. government's having a bit of a trouble. Had a partial shutdown from yesterday.
B: Oh, really? What happened?

A: Yeah! The federal budget expired without any new law getting passed. This is the first time it's happened in about seven years, since 2018 during President Trump's term.
B: I remember that, right? So, they didn't agree on something related to the border wall between U.S. and Mexico, right?

A: Exactly! The Republicans and Democrats couldn't see eye-to-eye about funding for that project.
B: Wow, it feels like history repeating itself. Let's hope they can sort things out soon!
Summary
Partial U.S. government shutdown occurred on Dec X, 202X, marking the first time since January 2018 during Trump's term. The cause was a disagreement between Republicans and Democrats over funding for the border wall project between U.S. and Mexico, reminiscent of past political deadlocks.
