Trump Signs Bill to End Longest Government Shutdown in US History

In a significant political development, former US President Donald Trump signed a bill to end the longest government shutdown in American history. The 35-day shutdown had paralyzed several federal agencies, leaving hundreds of thousands of government employees furloughed or working without pay.
The bill, passed by both the House and Senate, temporarily reopened the government while extending funding for key departments. The agreement came after intense negotiations between the White House and congressional leaders, who had been deadlocked over funding for Trump’s proposed border wall.
Trump described the deal as a step toward “rebuilding trust and ensuring America’s workers are paid,” though he maintained that border security would remain a priority.
Economists estimate that the shutdown cost the US economy billions of dollars and disrupted essential services nationwide. Federal employees are now expected to receive back pay, and government operations are returning to normal.
Political analysts say the episode highlighted deep partisan divisions in Washington and underscored the need for more bipartisan approaches to fiscal and policy challenges.
