US Senate approves agreement to end shutdown

The US Senate has approved a compromise agreement that ends the most extended government shutdown in the country's history.

The bill passed 60-40, with the support of almost all Republicans and eight Democrats.

The bill will now go to the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. Speaker Mike Johnson said he hopes to pass it on Wednesday and send it to Trump for his signature. Trump called the agreement "very good."

The signing of the document took place a week after Democrats won the elections in New Jersey and Virginia, and a Democratic socialist was elected mayor of New York.

The deal has angered many Democrats, who argue that there is no guarantee the Republican-controlled Senate or House of Representatives will agree to extend health insurance subsidies.

The agreement does not appear to include specific restrictions that could prevent Trump from implementing further spending cuts in the future.
