The American Parliament building is completely blocked.
This was reported on Monday, January 18, by Reuters, referring to a witness of what is happening in Washington.
According to media reports, at the moment the US Capitol complex is blocked, entry and exit are prohibited due to “external security threat”. People remain inside the Congress building.
The reason for such measures was a fire, however, as it turned out later, the fire took place on a nearby street where homeless people spent the night.
