The president of the United States, Donald Trump, signed on Tuesday the bill to reopen the federal government, putting an end to a partial shutdown that began over the weekend. The signing of the government reopening took place in a ceremony in the Oval Office packed with Republican lawmakers, including the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson.
Today, the House narrowly approved the five bills that it received from the Senate, already passed there, to keep the government of the USA funded until September and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) until February 13.
"This bill is a great victory for the American people. Instead of a bloated, wasteful monstrosity full of handouts to special interests, we have managed to pass a fiscally responsible package that actually cuts unnecessary federal spending while supporting critical programs for the safety and prosperity of the American people," Trump commented when he signed the new legislative document.
