The partial US government shutdown reached 44 days, making it the longest in the history of the United States of America (USA).
The current shutdown has resulted in chaos at airports due to Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers shortage.
TSA officers at security checkpoints are not receiving pay cheques due to the current impasse.
Lawmakers in Washington are busy fighting over funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
President Donald Trump on Sunday said he is prepared to pay TSA agents if Congress is able to pass a funding bill.
It is not clear whether Trump’s executive order will face legal challenges.
