Washington, D.C. — President Donald Trump has signed into law a government funding bill that officially ends the longest shutdown in American history, lasting 43 days.
The signing ceremony at the White House came just hours after the House of Representatives approved the measure on a largely party-line vote of 222–209. The Senate had passed the legislation earlier in the week, paving the way for final enactment.
The bill restores funding across federal agencies, bringing relief to hundreds of thousands of government workers who had been furloughed or working without pay during the shutdown. The closure had disrupted services nationwide and sparked widespread debate over fiscal priorities and political gridlock.
With the president’s signature, the government is set to resume full operations, marking the end of a historic impasse that tested the resilience of public institutions and the patience of the American people.
