The US Senate approved, by a majority of 60 votes, a temporary financing bill to end the 41-day government shutdown, the longest in the history of the United States. The Council also sent the bill to the House of Representatives for a final vote on it this week in preparation for reopening federal government institutions.
Ending the government shutdown in the United States of America
This move represents the end of a political and economic crisis that extended for weeks in the United States of America, causing the disruption of vital service sectors and the suspension of the salaries of hundreds of thousands of government employees.
The agreement came after intense negotiations between the Republican and Democratic parties in the Senate, with the aim of reaching a temporary formula that would allow the government to be funded and resume its work until the end of the current fiscal year.
According to American media reports, the new legislation includes temporary funding for federal programs while keeping negotiations open on major contentious issues, most notably defense spending, immigration, and health care.
US President Donald Trump announced his support for the bill, which increases the chances of its rapid passage in the House of Representatives and the government’s return to work within days.
The closure had widespread repercussions, as basic public services such as aviation control, nutrition support, and housing programs were affected, while the US economy witnessed a significant slowdown due to the cessation of federal spending.
