Joe Biden, US President.
A move by President Joe Biden has once again saved America from the threat of an immediate shutdown. US President Joe Biden has signed a temporary spending bill a day before a possible government shutdown. With this, the threat of shutdown has been averted for the time being. But till now a permanent solution has not been found. To completely resolve this crisis, America will soon have to find a permanent solution.
For now, the crisis has been averted with Biden’s signature and the dispute over the federal budget with Republican members of Congress has extended into the new year. And war aid to Ukraine and Israel has been halted. The bill passed the House and Senate by wide margins this week, ensuring the government won’t shut down until after the holidays. This will give lawmakers more time to resolve their differences over government spending levels for the current fiscal year.
Biden is busy hosting APEC
Biden signed the bill in San Francisco, where he is hosting the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit of economies. The news of the signing came late at night. The President signed the bill at the Legion of Honor museum, where he hosted a dinner for APEC members. Due to the expenditure package, government funds will remain at the current level for about two more months. And talks are going on on long term package. (AP)
