The US Senate approved a budget bill that will prevent the work of the federal government of the country.
In particular, we are talking about a document that provides for financing the US Federal Government until September 30.
The bill was held by 54 senators, while 46 opposed.
The bill adopted by the Senate a few hours before the expiration of the current temporary budget finances the government before midnight on local time will be submitted for the signature of US President Donald Trump.
The document also provides for an increase in defense costs by about $ 6 billion. At the same time, expenses not related to defense will be reduced by about $ 13 billion.
Earlier, on Tuesday, the bill approved the House of US Representatives, controlled by the Republicans. The document was supported by 217 shuttle of the House of Representatives of the United States, while 213 spoke out against.
Democrats in the Senate wanted to adopt a temporary bill on a budget for a period of one month in order to win the time for more comprehensive negotiations, but this initiative did not receive support from the Republicans.
The leader of the minority in the Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer, said that he did not like the bill, but he will not block his adoption in the Senate, since the consequences of stopping the government will be much worse.
