Trump signs funding bill, ending partial government shutdown

According to Caixin, U.S. President Trump signed a government funding bill in the Oval Office on February 3, ending part of the government "shutdown." Earlier that day, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to pass a funding bill for several federal departments for the remainder of the fiscal year, resolving the deadlock that began with the partial government "shutdown" on January 31.

The bill will provide funding for several federal departments until September 30, the end of the fiscal year, and will provide two weeks of funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which has recently faced controversy and protests due to immigration enforcement actions, allowing all parties to continue negotiations on improving the department's operations.
