“Trump signs bill to end longest shutdown in US history”

After making remarks, President Donald Trump signed a funding bill to reopen the US government and end the longest shutdown in US history. "The country has never been in better shape," the president says just before signing the bill. "It's a great day," Trump continues as reporters are being ushered out of the Oval Office. 

The bill will bring government employees back to work, provide funds for federal agencies, programmes and departments and give back pay to hundreds of thousands of workers who have not been paid since the shutdown began on 1 October. 

The shutdown has gone on for 43 days, eclipsing the previous record of 35 days - which happened during Trump's first term.
