Trump reaches deal to fund US government until December
Donald Trump has reached a deal with Republicans and Democrats that will fund the US government until December 15 and provide a short-term increase in the debt ceiling, in a temporary measure that pushes back a bruising battle over must-pass legislative measures.
After a White House meeting with Mr Trump and their Republican counterparts, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer — the top Democrats in the House and Senate — said they had reached a deal to ward off a government shutdown, avoid a debt default and provide Hurricane Harvey-related aid.
