Trump signs funding bill, ending historic 43-day US government shutdown

US President Donald Trump signed into law Wednesday an agreement to fund the government through the end of January, ending a historic shutdown that has become the longest in history.

"The extremists in the other party insisted on creating the longest government shutdown in American history, and they did it purely for political reasons," Trump said at the White House as he signed the spending bill. "This is no way to run a country. I hope we can all agree that the government should never be shut down again."
