• Trump signed a bill providing funding, thus bringing an end to a six-week shutdown of the United States’ government.
• The bill passed in the House of Representatives by a vote of 222-209, with support from six Democrats and opposition from only two Republicans services have now been reinstated in full, bringing relief to millions of federal employees who were laid off.

The United States has officially ended its longest-ever government shutdown after the House of Representatives passed a critical funding bill late Wednesday evening. The move came after weeks of political gridlock that had disrupted public services, delayed crypto ETF approvals, and halted key financial legislation nationwide.

In the Republican-controlled House, legislation was passed by a vote of 222 to 209, which indicated a close but clear majority. A total of six Democrats voted for this legislation, as two Republicans voted against it. This marked a rare event of cooperation between both political sides in order to reopen governmental services after a historic six weeks of shutdowns.

Trump Signs Bill Restoring Federal Operations

Bitcoin​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Archive reported in a recent post that President Trump has officially signed the funding bill that will end the record-breaking shutdown of the U.S. federal government. Full federal operations are back in place, thus the great relief of the government employees who have been on a forced leave and the contractors of different departments all over the ​‍​‌‍​‍‌country.

A statement received by Fox News Digital confirmed that Trump expressed his plans to sign this legislation during a private dinner meeting yesterday, which also drew coverage by the BBC, which indicated this is an important political shift for Trump’s administration.

“The Administration encourages all Members of Congress to support this responsible, good-faith product to finally put an end to the longest shutdown in history,” the official White House statement continued. “The bill provides continued appropriations for most of the nation’s executive departments until the end of January of next year.”

Reopening Brings Temporary Economic Relief

The shutdown reflected differences between Democrats and Republicans. The Democratic Party wanted more provisions to deal with healthcare, as well as issues of the increasing cost of living. However, Republicans did not agree to modify the bill to incorporate those measures, choosing to open up the functioning of the government first, after which they would tackle those problems at a later date.

The end of the shutdown now allows Congress to refocus on delayed economic measures, including long-pending crypto and technology-related bills. While this reopening provides small relief, political experts warn that without broader compromise, future financially related conflicts may also endanger national economic development.
