President Trump signed a congressional resolution on Friday night that ended the longest government shutdown in US history.
The bill temporarily opens the government for three weeks without giving Trump his coveted funding for a border wall across the southern US border.
The White House says Trump signed the measure after the Senate and House each passed it Friday.
Trump backed down from his demand that Congress provide more border wall money before federal agencies get back to work.
But he warns that the government could shut down again “if we don’t get a fair deal from Congress.”
He tweeted on Friday night that the battle for the wall was not over.
“This was in no way a concession,” Trump wrote. “It was taking care of millions of people who were getting badly hurt by the Shutdown with the understanding that in 21 days, if no deal is done, it’s off to the races!”
The agreement to open the government came as about 800,000 federal employees missed their second consecutive paycheck.
