The record 43-day US government shutdown ended after a deal was reached and passed by the House of Representatives, then signed into law by President Donald Trump. The vote was 222-209 to keep the government open until January 30, 2026. Trump earlier said the US government would be opening up very quickly.
'I just want to tell you the country has never been in better shape. We went through this short-term disaster with the Democrats because they thought it would be good politically. And it's an honour now to sign this incredible bill and get our country working again,' Trump said after signing the bill.
