Government shutdown ends after Congress passes funding bill
House vote at 5.30am narrowly passes bill to reopen government after funding ran out at midnight, prompting hours-long shutdown
Lauren GambinoFirst published on Thu 8 Feb 2018 23.30 EST
The United States second shutdown in three weeks ended on Friday, after the president signed a nearly $400bn funding bill that narrowly passed Congress only a few hours before.
Funding for the federal government had lapsed at midnight eastern time after Kentucky Republican Rand Paul stalled a Senate vote on a far-reaching budget agreement to fund the government through 22 March while also eliminating caps on government spending and suspending the debt ceiling for the year.
