We begin in the United States where Senators on Monday voted to end the longest government shutdown in American history. The bill now moves to the House, where Speaker Mike Johnson said he aims to pass it as early as Wednesday and send it to President Donald Trump for his signature. Lee Seung-jae starts us off. The U.S. Senate has approved a bipartisan compromise to end the longest government shutdown in American history.
-----------------
The measure passed Monday night by a vote of 60 to 40,.. breaking a weeks-long political stalemate that left hundreds of thousands of federal workers without pay,.. disrupted food aid programs for millions,.. and caused widespread air traffic delays. The bill drew support from nearly all Senate Republicans and eight Democrats. Those Democrats had pushed unsuccessfully to link government funding to health insurance subsidies set to expire at the end of the year.
-----------------
While the agreement allows lawmakers to revisit the issue in December, it does not guarantee those subsidies will continue for the 24 million Americans who rely on them. Under the deal, funding for federal agencies that had been cut off since October 1 will be restored. It also temporarily halts President Donald Trump's effort to downsize the federal workforce, blocking any layoffs until January 30th. The bill now moves to the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
-----------------
Speaker Mike Johnson said he aims to pass it as early as Wednesday and send it to President Trump for his signature. "At the very moment that they do that final vote, I will call all House members to return to Washington as quickly as possible. We'll give a 36-hour formal and official notice, so that we can vote as soon as possible to pass the amended CR bill and get it to the President's desk." Meanwhile, President Trump marked Veterans Day on Tuesday at Arlington National Cemetery, where he praised the Senate's action and saluted Speaker Johnson for what he called a "big victory," saying the government is now on the verge of reopening after the record-long shutdown.

"And congratulations to you and to John (Senate Majority Leader John Thune) and to everybody on a very big victory. We're opening up our country. It should've never been closed. It should've never been closed." If approved by the House, the bill would then go to Trump's desk to be signed, at which point government agencies would reopen starting at the time Trump signs the legislation.
