The US Senate passed the provisional budget. Trump: Congratulations on your big win

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday congratulated the Republicans' victory in connection with the Senate's passage of the provisional budget bill thanks to the support of the Democrats. – We are opening our country – he declared.

Trump congratulated House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune on the Senate's passage of the provisional budget, which makes it possible to end the longest shutdown in US history.

“Congratulations to you and John and everyone on this great win,” Trump told Johnson during the Veterans Day observance at Arlington National Cemetery.

We are opening our country, he added, adding that the shutdown should never have happened.

The adoption of the project was possible thanks to the support of the opposition. A group of seven Democratic senators and one independent (Democratic-affiliated) senator agreed to a compromise with Republicans on Sunday.

Once approved by the Senate, the provisional bill will go to the House of Representatives and then to the president's desk. The Speaker of the House of Representatives urged members to return to Washington to take part in a vote to end the shutdown. It will most likely take place on Wednesday.

The compromise reached assumes:

• extension of government financing until the end of January,
• reversing mass layoffs of federal workers that occurred after October 1,
• a guarantee of payment of salaries to employees who did not receive them due to the shutdown.

Compromise also assumes a promise to hold a vote on restoring health insurance subsidies, but does not guarantee that such subsidies will existand this is what Democrats fought for above all.

Tuesday is the 42nd day of the shutdown, the longest government funding paralysis in U.S. history.
