Сенат США в последний момент предотвратил шатдаун правительства, проголосовав за законопроект о расходах.

This is reported by Associated Press and Reuters.

The document outlines an extension of government funding until March 14, along with the allocation of $100 billion for states affected by natural disasters and $10 billion in agricultural assistance for farmers.

Some Congressional Republicans, as well as Elon Musk, who is set to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, have called for cuts to government funding, while President-elect Donald Trump has insisted on raising the debt ceiling. Otherwise, let the government shutdown "begin now," Trump wrote.

Ultimately, to avoid a shutdown before the Christmas holidays, the final version of the bill excluded the provision for raising the debt ceiling. This demand from Trump will be discussed early next year as part of tax and border package negotiations.

The Senate, controlled by the Democrats, passed the bill with 85 votes just 38 minutes after the government funding deadline expired at midnight. During this time, the government did not resort to a shutdown procedure.

Additionally, the bill was also approved in the House of Representatives, where it received 366 votes in favor and 34 against. The document will now be sent to the White House for signing by the current President Joe Biden.
