The Department of Justice, led by US President Trump, will reach a settlement with trade unions to withdraw layoffs related to the 2025 government shutdown. According to an agreement disclosed on Friday, the government will suspend related lawsuits and withdraw a memorandum instructing federal agencies to fire some employees; at the same time, the government has also abandoned attempts to expand its authority to fire federal employees. At the beginning of the 43-day shutdown, the Trump administration listed more than 4,000 employees as targets for dismissal. This is also the longest government shutdown in US history. Many employees have been reinstated by a federal judge, who cited the president's remarks about attacking “Democrat-leaning” positions. The union quickly declared victory.
