President Joe Biden signs bill to keep agencies open
In a statement, Mr Biden said: “This is good news for the American people.”
He also said the US “cannot, under any circumstances, allow American support for Ukraine to be interrupted” and expected Mr McCarthy “will keep his commitment to the people of Ukraine and secure passage of the support needed to help” the war-torn country “at this critical moment”. “We’re going to do our job,” Mr McCarthy said before the vote. “We’re going to be adults in the room. And we’re going to keep government open.”If no deal was in place before Sunday, federal workers would have faced furloughs, more than two million active-duty and reserve military troops would have had to work without pay and services that people rely on would have faced shutdown disruptions.
