On Friday, President Donald Trump agreed to a deal to reopen the government for three weeks, so that bipartisan talks could be held.

Here are the current top stories regarding the shutdown, its effects, and when furloughed workers can expect to be paid.

1. IT'S OVER, UNTIL FEB. 15

Submitting to mounting pressure amid growing disruption, President Donald Trump agreed to a deal Friday to reopen the government for three weeks, backing down from his demand that Congress give him money for his border wall before federal agencies get back to work.

2. "I NEVER WANT TO BE IN THIS POSITION AGAIN"

Federal workers who have gone a month without getting paid during the longest government shutdown in U.S. history expressed relief Friday that a deal had been reached to end the impasse, but are worried they’ll be in the same spot in a few weeks.

3. PAYROLL STILL DELAYED

While Congress and President Donald Trump on Friday agreed to reopen dozens of federal government agencies that have been shuttered for 35 days, the 800,000 employees who haven’t been paid in more than a month likely will have to wait well into next week to receive their pay.
