United States Government Debt

President Donald Trump signed a government funding bill, officially ending the record 43-day shutdown, Bloomberg News reported. The signing came hours after the House approved the measure on a mostly party-line vote of 222-209, following Senate passage on Monday. While the legislation reopens federal operations, it also sets a new funding deadline in Congress on January 30, signaling that lawmakers will need to resume negotiations to avoid another shutdown. The bill’s passage marked the conclusion of the longest federal closure in U.S. history, bringing relief to affected government employees and services.
