Trump Signs Bill, Concluding Record 43-Day Government Shutdown
President Donald Trump signed a government funding bill, officially ending the record 43-day shutdown, Bloomberg News reported.

The bill’s passage marked the conclusion of the longest federal closure in U.S. history, bringing relief to affected government employees and services.
