President Donald Trump has endorsed a bipartisan Senate deal to end the record-breaking 41-day U.S. government shutdown. The agreement, which includes short-term funding and a future vote on healthcare subsidies, is expected to pass the House this week, restoring operations across key federal sectors.
Trump Signals Optimism as Senate Moves to End Historic Shutdown
After weeks of political gridlock, President Donald Trump has publicly backed a Senate deal aimed at ending the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. The shutdown, now in its 41st day, has disrupted federal services, delayed paychecks for thousands of workers, and strained sectors like aviation and agriculture.
The proposed agreement includes temporary funding through January 30 and a future vote on extending Affordable Care Act tax credits. Trump called the deal “very good,” adding that Democrats “understand the need to move forward.” Senate Majority Leader John Thune confirmed that negotiations are progressing, and the bill has cleared key procedural hurdles.
The House is expected to vote on the measure after the Veterans Day holiday, with enough bipartisan support anticipated for passage.
