Trump signs bill ending longest government shutdown in US history

On November 13, 2025, President Donald Trump signed a bill that concluded the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, which had persisted for more than 40 days. This legislation ensures funding for government operations until January 30, 2026, alleviating the disruptions caused by the shutdown. The shutdown had significant implications for federal services and employees, highlighting the challenges of political negotiations in the U.S. government. The resolution of this impasse reflects a critical moment in governance, as it restores normalcy and allows federal agencies to resume their functions, benefiting millions of Americans who rely on government services.
