Senate decision
The US Senate has approved the draft law on government financing, aimed at ending the longest shutdown in the country's history. The document provides for the resumption of federal agencies and the payment of salaries to civil servants.
Next steps
Now the draft law must be considered by US House of Representatives. After the lower house passes the document, it will be signed by President Donald Trump.
Following Trump's confirmation, government agencies are expected to return to full operation in the coming days.
The longest shutdown in US history
The current shutdown continues more than a month, which was a record for the American political system. The reason for blocking the funding was disagreements between the White House and Congress on budget priorities.
