Trump Signs Bill Ending Federal Shutdown

President Donald Trump has signed a government funding bill worth about $1.2 trillion on Tuesday, bringing an end to the partial federal shutdown that began over the weekend.

The shutdown had affected several government departments and services after lawmakers failed to pass a funding plan on time. Many federal employees faced uncertainty, and some government work was temporarily stopped.

To solve the issue, Congress passed a large spending bill to keep the government running and provide money for various departments and programmes. Soon after the House of Representatives approved the bill with a narrow vote of 217-214, President Trump quickly signed it into law.

With the bill now in place, normal government operations are expected to resume. Federal workers can return to work, and public services will continue without disruption.

However, the signing of the bill has also set the stage for a fresh debate in Congress, especially over funding for the Department of Homeland Security. Lawmakers are expected to discuss issues such as border security, immigration enforcement, and related spending in the coming days.

The debate is likely to be intense, as both parties have different views on how much money should be allocated and how it should be used.
