A decline in the marginal propensity to consume, increase in the rate of interest as a result of government deficit, any exogenous shock with the trading partner, an increase in the marginal propensity to import, all of these can have degrading effect on the expansionary effect of government deficit spending.
When consumers are not willing to consume more, this reduces the multiplier, and the multiplier effect of government spending. Higher interest rate results in crowding out of private investment which reduces original increase in the aggregate demand due to multiplier effect. Increase in marginal propensity to consume will result in increasing imports decreasing exports and therefore decreasing the aggregate demand.
