Trump inks funding deal, bringing shutdown to an end
President Donald Trump signed a short-term funding bill after the House of Representatives approved it in a close 217–214 vote, ending a partial shutdown of the U.S. federal government. The legislation funds major departments and agencies, allows furloughed workers to return, and restores many services that had been reduced or delayed. The Senate passed the bill earlier by voice vote, sending it to the president for final approval. The measure provides temporary relief while Congress continues to debate longer-term budget issues and future government spending deadlines.
