President Donald Trump has signed legislation formally ending the partial government shutdown that began at midnight on Friday. The shutdown affected several federal agencies after lawmakers failed to reach a funding agreement before the deadline.
The newly signed measure restores funding for key federal departments, allowing normal operations to resume. Among the agencies covered are the Department of Defense, the Department of State, and the Treasury Department, along with several other government offices.
The legislation provides funding through the end of September, marking the conclusion of the current fiscal year. This ensures federal employees will continue receiving pay and that essential government services will remain uninterrupted.
The shutdown had created uncertainty for government workers and raised concerns about potential disruptions to national security, financial operations, and public services. Lawmakers from both parties cited the need to minimize further economic and operational impacts.
With the bill now signed into law, attention is expected to shift back to broader budget negotiations and long-term spending priorities. Congressional leaders have indicated they will continue working on future funding agreements to avoid similar shutdowns going forward.
