Update: US President Donald Trump Has Signed A $1.2 Trillion (£880 billion) Spending Bill

US President Donald Trump has signed a $1.2 trillion (£880 billion) spending bill, bringing an end to a partial federal government shutdown that began on Saturday. The deal narrowly passed the House of Representatives by a 217–214 vote after clearing the Senate last Friday.

The package funds most federal agencies through the end of the fiscal year in September. However, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will receive funding for only two weeks, until 13 February, as lawmakers remain divided over immigration enforcement reforms.

Democrats are pushing for stricter oversight of agencies such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), following the fatal shooting of two US citizens in Minneapolis last month. Trump hailed the bill as “a great victory for the American people,” while Congress prepares for renewed negotiations over DHS funding.
