United States President Donald Trump signed the bill on Tuesday to end the partial government shutdown after the proposal passed the House of Representatives in a tight 217–214 vote.
"I'm thrilled to sign the Consolidated Appropriations Act to immediately reopen the federal government and fund the vast majority of operations through the rest of the fiscal year," Trump said during the signing at the Oval Office.
"This bill is a great victory for the American people. Instead of a bloated and wasteful omnibus monstrosity full of special interest handouts, we've succeeded in passing a fiscally responsible package that actually cuts wasteful federal spending, while supporting critical programs for the safety, security and prosperity of the American people," he insisted. Then, House Speaker Mike Johnson praised Trump's economic policy and "innovations," claiming that "we're spending less money year over year."
