Trump signs a law to finance the government for $ 1.7 trillion until September

US President Donald Trump has signed a law to finance the government until the end of next September, ending the danger of the partial closure of the government, and also ending a conflict in Congress that created a deep division between the Democrats. Harrison Fields, Deputy Commander of the White House, said in a post on X, that Trump signed the ongoing decision on Saturday.

According to the Associated Press, the bill remains largely Government financing At the levels that were recorded during the chairmanship of Joe Biden, with some changes. Non -defensive spending is reduced by about $ 13 billion from the previous year, and defensive spending increases by about $ 6 billion, which are slight changes compared to a total level of spending approximately $ 1.7 trillion.

The Senate approved the legislation on Friday with a majority of 54 votes versus 46, as 10 members of the Democratic Bloc in the Senate helped to pass the bill despite opposition from within their party, the most prominent of which was the opposition of their colleagues in the House of Representatives, who urged them to categorically reject the bill.

Democrats in the Senate remained for days about the possibility of imposing a closure, angry at the Republicans in the House of Representatives for drafting and approving the draft spending law without their participation. Democrats said that the legislation is limited to health care and housing and other priorities, and gives Trump a wide margin of freedom to redirect federal spending, even at a time when his administration and the Ministry of Government Efficiency are accelerated in dismantling the agencies and programs approved by Congress.

Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Senate Democrats, said that the government closure would have given the Trump administration the ability to consider entire agencies, programs and employees unnecessary, and giving them a temporary leave without any promise to re -employ them. “The government closure will allow the US Department of competence to work at its most capable. Donald Trump and Eileon will be free to destroy biological government services at much faster,” said Shomer.

The approval of the financing bill in the House of Representatives earlier in the week was a victory for Trump and Speaker of Parliament Mike Johnson, who succeeded in preserving the cohesion of Republicans and pushing the bill to acknowledge without the support of the Democrats, which is rarely able to achieve it in the past.
