Trump signed the bill in the Oval Office, and in connection with that, he accused the Democrats of being the cause of the shutdown.
"I just want to say to the American people, you shouldn't forget this," Trump said.
They look very bad, the Democrats.
He also adds that it "sends a clear message that we will never give in to blackmail."
The House of Representatives voted
Earlier in the night, Swedish time, the US House of Representatives voted to end the government shutdown. The vote to approve the budget agreement was 222-209. When the result was announced, loud applause was heard in the House of Representatives, and some people hugged each other. However, others simply left the room.
Earlier this week, the Senate approved the bill, and after the House of Representatives approved the bill, President Donald Trump also needed to sign it.
In general, members of Congress in the House of Representatives voted along party lines. Six Democrats voted to approve the proposal, while two Republicans voted against it.
Aroused anger within the Democrats
The compromise proposal that has now been adopted secures state funding until the end of January. However, certain costs – defense spending, support for military veterans and support for the Department of Agriculture, which pays out food stamps – are secured for one year.
However, the deal has previously sparked anger within the Democrats, mainly because it does not guarantee an extension of subsidized healthcare within the framework of the health insurance "Obamacare", which the party has demanded in budget negotiations.
