Trump Backs Deal to End US Shutdown as Senate Plans Vote on Bill

President Donald Trump has backed a bipartisan deal to end the ongoing government shutdown in the United States. The deal would reopen the government temporarily while negotiations continue over border security and immigration issues. The Senate is expected to vote on the bill, which could pave the way for the government to resume operations within a matter of days. This development comes after a prolonged stalemate between the Trump administration and congressional Democrats, which had resulted in the longest government shutdown in US history. The agreement represents a compromise and a potential path forward, though long-term solutions to the underlying disagreements remain to be worked out. The news suggests a willingness on both sides to find a resolution and end the disruption to government services and the broader economic impact of the shutdown.
