“We have reached a deal to end the shutdown and reopen the federal government,” Trump told reporters Friday in televised remarks at the White House Rose Garden.
President Donald Trump announced a deal to reopen the government for three weeks, ending a 35-day partial shutdown without securing any of the border wall money he had demanded.
Trump said he has asked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to vote immediately on the deal, which would open the affected agencies through Feb. 15. He added that he will make sure federal workers get back pay quickly.
