Financing for 6 months .. Trump signs a draft law to avoid government closure

US President Donald Trump has fallen law to finance the government until the end of September, ending the danger of partial government closure, concluding a conflict in Congress that caused a deep division between Democrats.
Harrison Fields, Deputy Commander of the White House, said in a post on the “X” platform that Trump signed the temporary financing decision on Saturday.
The draft law mainly maintains the levels of government financing that were identified during the presidency of Joe Biden, with some amendments.

Non -defensive spending

The draft law reduces non -defense spending by about $ 13 billion compared to the previous year, while defensive spending increases by about $ 6 billion, which are slight changes when looking at the total level of spending of about 1.7 trillion dollars.
The Senate approved the legislation yesterday, Friday, with a 54th party vote against 46, as it helped ten members of the Democratic Bloc in the Senate to pass the project, despite the opposition within their party, especially from their colleagues in the House of Representatives who strongly urged them to reject it.
The Democrats in the Senate have argued for several days about whether the government should be forced to close, expressing their anger at the Republicans in the House of Representatives to formulate and pass the spending project without their participation.
