U.S. senators have reached a bipartisan agreement to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, which lasted 40 days, the BBC reports.<\/p>\n
The government shutdown lasted for more than a month due to Congress failing to reach an agreement on funding federal services.<\/p>\n
The previous record, 35 days, occurred during the first term of President Donald Trump and ended in January 2019.<\/p>\n
“It looks like we are approaching the end of the shutdown. You will know very soon,” Trump said.<\/p>\n
After being passed by the Senate, the bill must be approved by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives and then signed by Trump — a process that could take several days.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
