US President Donald Trump on Wednesday night signed into law the bill ending the longest government shutdown in history, which had lasted 43 days.
Earlier, the House of Representatives passed the bill by a majority of 222-209, with 216 Republicans voting in favor and six Democrats joining them to approve the motion.
The bill sets up a new funding cliff in Congress on January 30, and provides funding for a few key agencies through the remainder of fiscal year 2026.
The SNAP and WIC programs, which deliver food and nutrition services to tens of millions of Americans, as well as veterans’ services, will continue to be funded if the government were to shut down again over the next few months.
The Senate approved the legislation on Monday evening by a majority of 60 to 40.
