Trump Signs Bill to End Record-Breaking U.S. Government Shutdown

President Trump signed a funding bill to end the longest shutdown in U.S. history shortly after the House of Representatives passed the spending package in a 222-209 vote.

After 35 days of partial closure, the longest government shutdown in U.S. history officially came to an end when President Donald Trump signed a bipartisan bill to reopen federal agencies. The measure restores funding through February 15, giving lawmakers time to negotiate broader border security issues that had been at the center of the standoff.

The shutdown, which began in late December, left hundreds of thousands of federal workers furloughed or working without pay, sparking widespread economic and social disruption. Airports faced staffing shortages, national parks struggled to maintain services, and families across the country felt the strain of missed paychecks.

By signing the bill, Trump acknowledged the toll the shutdown had taken, while emphasizing that negotiations over border security would continue. Congressional leaders hailed the agreement as a necessary step to restore stability, though debates over long-term funding priorities remain unresolved.
