CAIRO, Jan. 26 (SEE)- The longest partial government shutdown in the history of the United Stated of America has finally came to an end, as President Donald Trump backed down signing a 21-day reopen legislation without securing any money from the congress for his long-sought Mexican border wall. 

Thus, the game’s first half winded up with the Democrats gaining ground- brownie points to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. And now, all parties will sit on the table to negotiate the border security dilemma which triggered the partial closure that furloughed thousands of federal workers and caused delays in the country’s aviation sector.

Mr. Trump ‘proudly’ announced his Senate and House approved deal amid national tension, requesting the departments’ heads to reopen workplaces in a “prompt and orderly manner.”

This retreat came one day after Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross provoked federal workers, saying that they should opt for loans to settle down their financial issues.

Meanwhile, February 15 is a day to mark on calendars as Mr. Trump said that unless the congress offers him a “fair deal,” he will either shutdown the government one more time or “use the powers afforded to me under the laws and Constitution of the United States to address this emergency.”

So, if Mr. Trump does not get content with the outcomes of the recently-formed bipartisan Senate and House lawmakers committee in charge of discussing the border funding, Americans could open their eyes to a national emergency declaration.

“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!,” Trump wrote on twitter. 

Mrs. Pelosi, who has exceptionally shunt the President during their first official lash, told reporters that although she “can’t assure the public about anything that the president will do,” but she is optimistic. Currently, Mrs. Pelosi is scheduling a date for Mr. Trump’s annual Sate of the Union address.

The upcoming three weeks will behold one of the hottest debates in America as the wall that Trump insists on building is counted by Democrats superfulous. Though both have “so many areas” to implement border security, as per Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer, who wished that his president had learned a “lesson” from what happened.
