The US House of Representatives has now voted to end the longest ever federal government shutdown, by sending the budget bill to reopen the government for President Donald Trump to sign.

After being passed, the bill was transferred to President Donald Trump for signing into law.
On the evening of November 12, the White House said that President Donald Trump will publicly sign the government budget bill in front of the media at the Oval Office at 9:45 p.m. local time.
President Donald Trump's signing of the bill will help end the longest US government shutdown in history.
