US Shutdown Ends as Trump Signs His Funding Deal With Democrats

The partial US government shutdown ended late Tuesday after President Donald Trump signed into law a funding deal he negotiated with Senate Democrats, overcoming opposition from both ends of the political spectrum amid a standoff over his administration’s immigration crackdown.

Trump applauded the funding package as “a great victory for the American people” and stressed that the legislation continues to fund deportation flights, which have provoked backlash from Democrats.
