President Trump signed a congressional resolution on Friday
night that ended the longest government shutdown in US history.
The bill temporarily opens the government for three weeks
without giving Trump his coveted funding for a border wall across
the southern US border.
The White House says Trump signed the measure after the
Senate and House each passed it Friday.
Trump backed down from his demand that Congress provide more
border wall money before federal agencies get back to work.
But he warns that the government could shut down
again “if we don’t get a fair deal from Congress.”
He tweeted on Friday night that the battle for the wall was not
over.
“This was in no way a concession,” Trump wrote. “It was
taking care of millions of people who were getting badly hurt by
the Shutdown with the understanding that in 21 days, if no deal is
done, it’s off to the races!”
The agreement to open the government came as about 800,000
federal employees missed their second consecutive paycheck.
