Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dave Mattingly.
Congress has ended the shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security after the House
approved a bill to fund most of DHS.
The legislation was approved unanimously on a voice vote.
It previously cleared the Senate.
The bill does not fund the department's immigration enforcement agencies,
including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, and the Border Patrol.
The shutdown of DHS lasted two and a half months, the longest for a federal department in the nation's history.
There's still no sign of a deal to end the war with Iran amid the ongoing ceasefire.
NPR's Daniel Kurzleben says President Trump was asked where things stand yesterday at the White House.
A reporter pointed out that Iran is stubborn and the talks seem like they 're stalled,
then asked if the president is feeling antsy to break the ceasefire.
Trump demurred.
I do n't know what stubbornness is because really nobody knows what the talks
are except myself and a couple of other people.
They want to make a deal badly.
When asked about gas prices, Trump said Iran wo n't have a nuclear weapon
and that prices will decline when the war is over.
He says that'll happen fast.
Industry experts say otherwise.
