(MENAFN- AsiaNet News)

The House reportedly approved a funding package in a 217-214 vote on Tuesday, effectively ending the brief government shutdown that started over the weekend.

According to a report from NBC, President Donald Trump said that he would sign the bill“immediately.”

Once signed, it will grant full-year funding for the federal government at the end of September. However, the Department of Homeland Security has received an extension for funding only through Feb. 13.
