U.S. President Trump: Working with Speaker Johnson to promote House approval of the funding agreement.

On Monday, U.S. President Trump urged House Republicans to work with Democrats to reopen the federal government as soon as possible, stating that "at this time," no "modifications" should be made to the legislation already passed by the Senate.

Trump posted on Truth Social:

"I am working closely with Speaker Johnson to push through in the House the existing funding agreement that was passed by the Senate last week, and get it onto my desk—I will immediately sign it into law!"

"We must get the government running again, and I hope all Republicans and Democrats will join me in supporting this bill and send it to my desk without delay. For now, there can be no changes."

According to CCTV News, in the early hours of January 31 local time, funding for several U.S. federal government departments ran out. Because the new budget has not yet been passed, several departments have once again fallen into a “shutdown.”

At this time, it has been less than three months since the end of the 43-day government “shutdown”—the longest in U.S. history last year, and even if the new budget currently being voted on in Congress passes smoothly, certain departments will only receive two weeks of funding. In other words, in half a month, the U.S. government may face its third “shutdown” in a short period of time.

However, media outlets say this shutdown is not expected to last long. The Senate last Friday passed with overwhelming votes the measure to reopen agencies covered by five regular appropriations bills. The Senate plan also includes a two-week temporary funding measure for the Department of Homeland Security.

Trump said on Monday:

"We will work together in good faith to address the issues raised, but we cannot have another long, meaningless, and destructive government shutdown—it would cause severe harm to the country and is of no benefit to Republicans or Democrats. I hope everyone will vote yes."

House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a media interview on Sunday that he is confident "at least by Tuesday" this government shutdown will be over, though he admitted he is facing a tough battle.

Johnson said:

"There are indeed logistical challenges in getting everyone to Washington, and based on my communication with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, I know we must first pass a procedural rule, and most likely will have to rely mainly on ourselves to accomplish this."
