US Government Shutdown Concludes as Trump Signs Funding Bill
US President Donald Trump has signed a funding bill, effectively ending a partial government shutdown that lasted four days and began over the weekend amid significant disputes regarding the budget and immigration policies.
The House of Representatives narrowly approved the funding package after it received Senate approval.
This legislation secures funding for most government agencies until the end of September, with the exception of the Department of Homeland Security, which received temporary funding as a compromise.
It is important to note that the Department of Homeland Security oversees controversial federal operations related to immigration, with its temporary funding set to expire next Friday.
Trump called for the swift signing of the bill via his platform "Truth Social" once it was approved by Congress, emphasizing the need for the legislation to take effect "immediately."
This marks the second partial shutdown during Trump's presidency, and it is significantly shorter than the previous shutdown, which lasted 43 days in November 2025, making it the longest in US history.
The recent funding crisis follows a tragic incident in Minneapolis, where two US citizens were shot during deportation operations conducted by the Trump administration, sparking nationwide controversy.
With the shutdown concluded, government operations are expected to return to normal, although the issue surrounding the Department of Homeland Security remains temporarily unresolved until a long-term solution is reached.
