US President Donald Trump signed a law that extends the financing of the federal government of the United States until February 8, CNN reports . Thus, the Schutdown lasted three days ended.

Prior to this, the bill approved the Senate with 81 votes against 18, and later the House of Representatives - 266 votes against 150.

The bill includes six -year financing of the insurance program in the field of children's health (Children's Health Insurance Program, Chip). At the same time, the document does not provide for the allocation of funds for immigration programs, in particular, to the program for the assistance of minor children of illegal migrants (DACA, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) adopted by President Barack Obama.

The Democrats agreed to adopt the bill, provided that the issue of funds for immigration programs will be considered until February 8.

On Monday, Trump said that he was ready for an agreement on the problem of immigration only if it benefits the country. “We will conclude a long-term immigration agreement, if-and only if-it is good for the country,” the press secretary of the White House Sarah Khakabi Sanders quoted the words of the president.

In the United States, the budget year begins in October. In the fall of 2017, the budget bill was not adopted. Government financing is supported by resolutions lasting several weeks.

On the night of January 20, the Senate did not support the bill on the extension of financing the government. A few hours before midnight, when the term of the previous extension expired, a vote was carried out on an approved House of Representatives to a new bill. However, he could not gain the required 60 votes . Most democrats voted against voted. Among the opponents of the bill were also several Republicans.

As a result, federal departments were forced to send most of the employees on unpaid leave. This situation is called Shutdown. In this case, most of the military, rescuers, officials who provide emergency medical care, national security, operation of electric networks, flight safety, etc. will continue to work in full. However, in institutions related to the areas of health, defense and transport, only half of the employees go to work. The remaining departments are closed.

Democrats refused to support the resolution, demanding to take measures to protect children of illegal migrants from deportation due to DACA Trump's cancellation .

Trump accused the Democratic of protecting illegal migrants of worrying it more than the country's security. "Democrats are much more concerned about illegal migrants than our great military and security on the southern border. They could easily go to an agreement, but instead decided to play a Shutdown policy," the president on Twitter wrote.

This was the first Shutdown in the history of the United States in the conditions when one party controls both the White House and both chambers of the Congress. The previous stopping of the government occurred in the fall of 2013 . It lasted 16 days.
