Republican leaders of the House of Representatives on Saturday presented A Stopgap financing bill led by the Republican Party, known as a continuous resolution, which will finance the Government at current levels until the end of September.
The 99 pages bill moderately increases defense spending by approximately $ 6 billion more than the tax levels of 2024, while non -defensive expense is approximately $ 13 billion lower than the fiscal levels of 2024, according to the leaders of the Republican Party. There are $ 6 billion for the medical care of veterans.
The measure neglects the emergency funds for disasters and community projects.
President Donald Trump urged the Republicans of the Congress to support and vote for the short -term government financing bill.
“All Republicans should vote (please!) Yes next week. Great things come to the United States, and I ask everyone to give us a few months to get to September so we can continue to put in order the ‘Financial House’ of the country,” Trump wrote in a publication about Truth Social.
Trump said the Republicans must “remain united”, and added that the Democrats “will do everything possible to close our government, and we cannot let that happen.”

In particular, there are accessories of funds for the bill, known as “anomalies”, which includes a $ 20 billion cut to the application of IRS and an increase in financing the immigration deportation operation and customs compliance.
The republican party leaders say that the bill was closely coordinated with the White House. The financing levels in the bill are below those previously established as part of that 2023 bipartisan financing agreement.
The speaker Mike Johnson, Republican of La-La., Is coming with this Republican Plan and is ready to vote on the camera on Tuesday without the support of the Democrats.
However, making this republican plan go through both cameras will be a real challenge with the deadline of March 14 less than a week.

Democrats are not aboard the proposal, which means that Republicans need almost unanimous support. Johnson has little margin of error with his thin majority of 218-214 and can only be allowed to lose a dropout if all members vote and are present.
The classification member of the Assignments Committee of the House of Representations, Rosa Delauro, D-Conn., Searched the proposed proposal proposal in a statement published on Saturday.
“I firmly oppose this continuous resolution of the whole year, which is a capture of power to the White House and also allows the unusual billionaire Elon Musk and President Trump to rob the US people,” Delauro wrote.
“By essentially closing the book on negotiations for financing invoices throughout the year that help the middle class and protect our national security, my colleagues on the other side of the corridor have given their power to an un chosen billionaire,” he added.
