Trump signed the US budget law. The Baltic countries will also receive funding 0 11

Shortly before this, the budget bill was approved by the US House of Representatives, and prior to that — by the Senate.

The bill, which is the 11th of 12 annual appropriations bills for the current fiscal year ending September 30, was supported by 217 members of the House of Representatives, while 214 congressmen voted against it.

The approved budget provides funding for almost the entire government system until the end of September, with the exception of the Department of Homeland Security. The adopted compromise provides for only temporary transitional funding for this department for two weeks.

The Department of Homeland Security is responsible for the controversial operations of federal agencies against immigrants, which prompted Democrats to demand cuts in law enforcement operations.

Among other things, funding for defense has also been approved — a total of $838.7 billion, including $200 million directed to the Baltic Security Initiative.

This was the second government shutdown during Trump's second presidential term. The first lasted 43 days until November and became the longest in US history.

New budget issues arose after two US citizens were shot during Trump administration operations against immigrants in Minneapolis. This prompted Senate Democrats to block budget bills that included funding for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which is under the Department of Homeland Security and conducted these operations.
