Bipartisan Continuing Resolution Extends Federal Funding Until December
The Senate has unveiled a bipartisan continuing resolution that would extend federal funding until Dec. 11, rejecting a White House request for $1 billion to fund the Trump-class battleship program. The bill also denies a Pentagon request for language that would have allowed the department to obligate funding for key munitions programs. The Senate’s move may signal a change in defense spending priorities, as lawmakers work to prevent a government shutdown. The bill was reported by Breaking Defense.
