Republican House speaker Kevin McCarthy backed down from hardliners’ demands to keep the country running, but the deal includes no money for Ukraine.
Republicans and Democrats in the US House of Representatives have reached an eleventh-hour compromise to continue funding the government for 45 days.
Biden welcomed the deal but called for Congress to swiftly approve aid to Ukraine after it was left out of the agreement. A shutdown would have left hundreds of thousands of federal employees without the funding to do their jobs. The US government faced a shutdown until Congress managed to overcome the impasse just hours before the deadline.McCarthy has struggled to rally his party behind a spending bill due to his narrow 221-212 majority in the chamber.
