Trump officially signs the appropriations bill, ending the government shutdown crisis in the United States.

On Tuesday, US President Trump officially signed the government funding bill in the Oval Office of the White House, ending the partial government shutdown that had been ongoing for several days, signaling the resolution of the deadlock since January 31. Earlier that day, the US House of Representatives narrowly passed the funding bill with a vote of 217 in favor and 214 against. The bill was quickly sent to the president for signing, with Trump already indicating he would "promptly approve" it, and he completed the signing process that day, allowing various government departments to resume operations. This funding bill will provide support for agencies such as the Department of Defense, Treasury Department, State Department, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Labor, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of Transportation, and Department of Education until the end of the fiscal year on September 30, avoiding another government shutdown due to budget shortfalls. However, the funding issue for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) remains unresolved. Due to recent controversy and protests over immigration enforcement actions, the Senate removed the provision for full-year funding for the department and instead provided a two-week temporary funding for DHS to allow for continued negotiations on immigration enforcement oversight mechanisms and departmental operational improvements. The House vote process faced numerous twists and turns. The bill nearly faced rejection in an earlier procedural vote that day but ultimately passed with a slim margin of 217 to 215, paving the way for the final vote. With the Republican Party holding a very slim majority in the House, Speaker Mike Johnson had to coordinate opposition within the party. Some conservative members demanded that the controversial voter ID bill, the "SAVE Act," be brought to a vote in the Senate in exchange for their support for the funding agreement, leading to urgent negotiations within the Republican leadership on the House floor. In the end, Republican lawmaker John Rose from Tennessee changed his vote, and some opponents also yielded, allowing the bill to move forward. Though some negotiating representatives from the Democratic Party supported the bill, many Democratic and some Republican lawmakers voted against it. New York Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries made it clear before that Democrats would not assist Republicans in pushing through procedural arrangements, forcing Johnson to rely on party unity to pass the legislation. Johnson emphasized before the vote, "We are governing responsibly and getting the job done." Market analysts noted that while this shutdown lasted a relatively short time, it still had some impact on financial market risk appetite. With the passage of the funding bill and the restoration of government operations, short-term uncertainty is alleviated. However, ongoing negotiations regarding DHS funding and immigration policies may still prove to be new sources of political and fiscal risks for Congress.
