Stopgap Bill Omits Key Pentagon Requests Amid Budget Talks
The Senate’s bipartisan continuing resolution would extend federal funding until Dec. 11, but rejects a White House request for $1 billion to fund the Trump-class battleship program. The bill also denies funding for key munitions programs, including the Patriot system’s PAC-3 interceptor and Tomahawk cruise missile. The Senate bill differs from the House-passed version in several key aspects, and both bills must be merged into a compromise version for final approval. The continuing resolution was reported by Breaking Defense.
