President Trump Signs Appropriations Bill, Officially Ending US Government Shutdown On February 3, President Trump officially signed an appropriations bill, ending the recent partial shutdown of the US federal government. This action marks the official end of the partial government service disruptions caused by the budget impasse since the end of January. In a statement released on social media, the White House called the shutdown a "Democrat-caused shutdown" and stated that "getting our country running again" is the top priority. It is understood that the core reason for the government shutdown was the fundamental disagreement between the two parties on immigration enforcement policy at the Department of Homeland Security, which prevented the timely passage of the relevant budget. At the end of January, although the Senate passed a compromise at the last minute, splitting the Department of Homeland Security's funding from other departments and providing it with two weeks of temporary funding, the House recess failed to prevent a brief technical shutdown. The appropriations bill signed by President Trump is expected to provide funding to the most affected federal departments until the end of the fiscal year (September 30), thus avoiding the risk of another government shutdown in the short term. However, the bill only provides funding for the Department of Homeland Security for two weeks, allowing the two parties to reach a final agreement on the highly contentious immigration enforcement reform within those two weeks; otherwise, the government may face another shutdown in mid-February. Overall, this temporary end to the shutdown is more like a "halftime break" in a long-running political game than a fundamental bridging of differences. While both sides have gained breathing room through short-term funding, the substantive political deadlock remains unbroken. #Trump #USGovernmentResumesOperation
