Trump already signed the bill to reopen the government on November 12, 2025, so there is no future signing date to wait for now.

What actually happened

  • On November 12, 2025, President Donald Trump signed a funding bill that officially ended a 43‑day federal government shutdown, the longest in U.S. history.
  • The legislation reopened federal agencies and restored pay for federal workers, reversing shutdown‑related layoffs.

How long the bill keeps government open

  • The bill funds most government operations through late January 2026, with some key agencies funded for the remainder of the 2026 fiscal year.
  • Lawmakers will need to act again before that funding expires to avoid another shutdown.

Why people are still asking “when will he sign it?”

  • Many forum and social media posts were written before November 12, when Congress had just passed the bill and it was still heading to Trump’s desk, which made timing a popular question online.
  • As of early 2026, that question is outdated for the 2025 shutdown, because the signature and reopening already happened; current debates focus on what happens when this funding runs out near the end of January 2026.
