Shutdown stop: bipartisan agreement in the US Senate

Stop the shutdown in the US. The federal offices resume their normal administrative activity after the compromise reached in the Senate between the Democrats and the Republicans.

The parliamentarians of the two parties will vote on the public funding that will allow the budget to be released and the reopening of public offices throughout the country. But it's a temporary arrangement that has a more ambitious goal.

In announcing the agreement, the Democrats specified that the end of the shudown, which began at midnight last Saturday to coincide with the first anniversary of Donald Trump's inauguration in the White House, is valid until February 8.

By the first week of next month, a broader agreement will have to be reached on the dreamers, that is, on the 700 immigrants who arrived in the US as children whom the Trump presidency would like to send away. Only an agreement on this point will definitively banish the shutdown which has created many difficulties for America in recent days.

Even if yesterday's agreement was not due to him, President Trump has taken the credit for it and is preparing to fly to Davos where he will participate in the Forum of the world's financial elite in the coming days.
