President Trump signs bill ending the US government shutdown

President Trump today signed legislation ending the US government shutdown, reopening federal agencies after extended congressional negotiations over spending priorities.

The House of Representatives passed the bipartisan funding measure with support from Democrats joining Republicans, marking a breakthrough in the prolonged dispute. The Senate had advanced an amended version of the legislation days earlier, setting the stage for final approval and presidential signature.

Federal workers are set to return to their duties, with government services restarting following the bill’s enactment. The shutdown had resulted from congressional disagreements over federal spending priorities.
