WASHINGTON — The US Senate on Monday approved a compromise that would end the longest government shutdown in US history, breaking a weeks-long stalemate that has disrupted food benefits for millions, left hundreds of thousands of federal workers unpaid and snarled air traffic.

The 60-40 vote passed with the support of nearly all of the chamber’s Republicans and eight Democrats, who unsuccessfully sought to tie government funding to health subsidies that are due to expire at the end of the year. While the agreement sets up a December vote on those subsidies, which benefit 24 million Americans, it does not guarantee they will continue.

The deal would restore funding for federal agencies that lawmakers allowed to expire on Oct. 1 and would stall President Donald J. Trump’s campaign to downsize the federal workforce, preventing any layoffs until Jan. 30.

It next heads to the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, where Speaker Mike Johnson has said he would like to pass it as soon as Wednesday and send it on to Mr. Trump to sign into law. Mr. Trump has called the deal to reopen the government “very good.”

The deal would extend funding through Jan. 30, leaving the federal government for now on a path to keep adding about $1.8 trillion a year to its $38 trillion in debt.

Coming a week after Democrats won high-profile elections in New Jersey, Virginia and elected a democratic socialist as the next mayor of New York City, the deal has provoked anger among many Democrats who note there is no guarantee that the Republican-controlled Senate or House would agree to extend the health insurance subsidies.

“We wish we could do more,” said Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois, the chamber’s No. 2 Democrat. “The government shutting down seemed to be an opportunity to lead us to better policy. It didn’t work.”

A late October Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 50% of Americans blamed Republicans for the shutdown, while 43% blamed Democrats.

US stocks rose on Monday, buoyed by news of progress on a deal to reopen the government.

Mr. Trump has unilaterally canceled billions of dollars in spending and trimmed federal payrolls by hundreds of thousands of workers, intruding on Congress’ constitutional authority over fiscal matters. Those actions have violated past spending laws passed by Congress, and some Democrats have questioned why they would vote for any such spending deals going forward.

The deal does not appear to include any specific guardrails to prevent Mr. Trump from enacting further spending cuts.

However, the deal would fund the SNAP food-subsidy program through Sept. 30 of next year, heading off any possible disruptions if Congress were to shut down the government again during that time. — Reuters

BANGKOK — Thailand’s government confirmed on Tuesday it will halt the implementation of an enhanced ceasefire agreement with Cambodia, signed last month in the presence of US President Donald J. Trump and said it would explain its decision to Washington.

Bangkok will also put on hold the return of 18 Cambodian prisoners of war currently held by the Thai military, Defense Minister Natthaphon Narkphanit told reporters. He declined to answer a question on whether troops would be redeployed.

Tensions between the two Southeast Asian neighbors, who clashed for five days in July, have escalated following a landmine blast on Monday that injured four Thai soldiers.

Thailand’s military has accused Cambodia of laying new landmines after the two countries agreed on the enhanced ceasefire steps, which included the withdrawal of troops and heavy weapons as well as Bangkok’s release of the Cambodian detainees.

In a statement on Tuesday, Cambodia’s defense ministry denied that it had laid new landmines and urged Thailand to avoid patrols in old minefield areas. It said it was committed to working with Bangkok in line with the October deal.

The enhanced ceasefire, signed during a regional summit in Malaysia, sought to build on a truce brokered in July by Mr. Trump, who called the then-leaders of the two countries urging them to end hostilities or face halts to their respective trade talks with Washington.

Both sides blame each other for starting the exchange of rockets and heavy artillery, which killed at least 48 people and temporarily displaced an estimated 300,000 during their worst fighting in recent history.

Thailand’s Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow said his country’s decision would be explained to the United States and to Malaysia, the chair of the regional bloc the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, which has facilitated the ceasefire process.

“What they (Cambodia) have said is not sufficient. We have to see what Cambodia’s stance is from now on,” he said. — Reuters

BEIJING — China is willing to resume exchanges with Canada and cooperate in various fields, its foreign minister said to his Canadian counterpart without specifying the sectors, the official Xinhua news agency reported on Tuesday.

Foreign Minister Wang Yi said China is willing to strengthen communication with Canada, adding that the diplomatic, commercial and other departments of both countries could enhance coordination and properly address their respective concerns.

Mr. Wang made the remarks to Canada’s Anita Anand over a phone call, following a meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in South Korea last month. Both leaders discussed trade issues including agriculture and electric vehicles.

Mr. Wang also said the leaders’ meeting marked the return of bilateral ties to the right track after years of turbulence. — Reuters
