Trump has yet to weigh in on the spending deal, reached after months of tedious discussions between top House and Senate leaders.
The package released Monday must pass in Congress and be signed by Trump by Friday, when the government is set to run out of funding.
Trump and Congress are wary of another government stoppage after last year's 35-day shutdown over disagreements on the president's desire to build a wall along the southern U.S. border.The spending deal leaves funding for the wall, one of the president's key campaign promises, unchanged from $1.
"I’m pleased that we have reached a bipartisan agreement that will keep government open, provide the certainty of full-year funding, and make strong investments in key priorities for American communities," said House Appropriations Chairwoman Nita Lowey, D-N.Y."With higher spending levels in line with the bipartisan budget agreement, we are scaling up funding for priorities that will make our country safer and stronger and help hardworking families get ahead.
"This legislation makes a robust investment in rebuilding our military and secures significant funds for the President’s border wall system," said Senate Appropriations Chairman Richard Shelby, R-Ala."These bills include a long list of priorities that will benefit people across the country. This is what the American people deserve – for us to fulfill our primary responsibility – funding the government.
