美国参议院领导人周日公布一份短期支出法案，将联邦政府资金延长至12月11日[1]。这一举措旨在避免在中期选举期间发生政府关门[1]。参议院多数党领导人约翰·图恩表示："我们需要确保美国人民不会面临第三次关门"[1]。
过去10个月内，美国已经经历了两次创纪录的政府关门[1]，其中去年秋季的关门持续了43天[1]。本次协议通常按现有水平为联邦政府提供资金[1]，两党都希望避免新的关门[1]。
该法案同时延迟了特朗普政府一项争议性政策的实施[1]。参议员苏珊·柯林斯和帕蒂·默里寻求延迟特朗普政府关于赠款审查的规则[1]，这一规则原定要求每个机构的高级政治任命者审查赠款提案[1]。此外，特朗普政府要求的10亿美元用于建造"特朗普级"战舰未被纳入该法案[1]。
Senate leadership unveiled a stopgap spending measure on Sunday designed to keep federal agencies operating through December 11, preventing a third government shutdown during the midterm election cycle [1]. The legislation maintains current funding levels across the government, with both parties seeking to avoid further disruptions after two record-breaking closures within the past ten months [1].
Senate Majority Leader John Thune stated that "we need to make sure the American people don't face a third shutdown," underscoring the bipartisan commitment to continuity [1]. The agreement notably excludes the Trump administration's $1 billion request for construction of a new "Trump-class" warship, while also postponing implementation of a controversial Trump administration policy requiring senior political appointees at each agency to review grant proposals [1]. Senators Susan Collins and Patty Murray championed the delay of this grant review rule, which would have subjected funding decisions to heightened political scrutiny [1].
