Original title: Trump has signed a temporary spending bill to avoid the US government’s shutdown
Overseas Network, December 19th “Capitol Hill” reported on the 18th that Trump has signed a temporary spending bill to avoid the US government’s suspension. The bill will continue to provide the government with 48 hours of funding.
Earlier on the 18th, the US Congress passed a two-day provisional spending bill. The House of Representatives passed 320 votes to 60 votes, while the Senate passed unanimously. Trump signed the bill at 10 pm on the 18th.
According to reports, the reason for the need to pass this provisional expenditure bill is that none of the 12 annual appropriations bills involving the fiscal year from October 1 have been promulgated, and the comprehensive expenditure bill that combines these bills has not yet been negotiated. At the same time, lawmakers also hope to tie a rescue stimulus package of over US$900 billion to this comprehensive spending bill. (Overseas Net Zhang Qi)
