WASHINGTON, D.C. (WTXL) - President Trump says that he and Congress have reached a deal to reopen the government.
Trump says that he will sign a stopgap bill to temporarily reopen the government until Feb. 15.
Reopening the government would mean furloughed federal workers who missed their second paycheck Friday will be given back pay.
The bill doesn't include any provisions for money for the proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
