The United States is moving closer to ending its record-breaking government shutdown after the Senate took a critical step forward to end its five-week impasse.
The Senate on Monday night approved a spending package by a vote of 60 to 40 to fund the US government through January 30, and reinstate pay for hundreds of thousands of federal workers.
The spending bill next moves to the House of Representatives for approval and then on to President Donald Trump for a sign-off before the shutdown can finally end.
House Speaker Mike Johnson has said he would like to pass it as soon as Wednesday and send it on to Trump to sign into law.
