Trump Signs Bill to End Longest US Government Shutdown

MT Newswires Live11-13

President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed legislation to end the longest government shutdown in US history, restoring funding after a 43-day lapse that had idled hundreds of thousands of federal workers.

The House narrowly approved the bill, which extends funding for most federal agencies through Jan. 30 and provides full-year funding for several others, media reports said.

Federal employees are expected to return to work as soon as Thursday, though full restoration of government operations may take several days, according to reports.
