US President Donald Trump on Thursday signed a temporaryspending bill passed by Congress, ending the nation’s longest governmentshutdown, which lasted 43 days.

    “Today we are sending a clear message that we will nevergive in to extortion, because that’s what it was,” Trump said during thesigning ceremony at the White House.

    He noted it could take “weeks, perhaps months” to assessthe full impact of what he described as the Democrats’ actions, accusing themof “taking pleasure” in the hardship Americans endured during the shutdown.

    Earlier this week, the Senate and the House ofRepresentatives reached a short-term deal to fund the government throughJanuary 31, with further negotiations expected later in the fiscal year on afull-year budget to avert another closure.

    The compromise came after weeks of stalled negotiationsover health care funding and government spending. The partial shutdown, whichbegan on October 1, disrupted air travel, delayed food aid for millions, andleft tens of thousands of federal employees without pay.
