据路透社报道,美国参议院周日晚些时候提出了一项妥协协议,以恢复联邦资金,美国历史上最长的政府停摆可能会在本周结束。周一,大多数参议员投票批准了结束创纪录的41天停摆的立法,投票仍在进行中。该协议将重新开放自10月1日以来关闭的机构,为受粮食援助中断影响的低收入家庭、数十万无薪联邦工作人员和数千架航班取消的旅客提供救济。该协议将使政府在1月30日之前保持资金,同时每年为其38万亿美元的债务增加约1.8万亿美元。唐纳德·特朗普总统的共和党人在国会两院都占据多数席位,但民主党人利用参议院的60票规则推动延长2400万美国人的医疗保险补贴。该妥协还规定了12月对该措施的投票。
The longest U.S. government shutdown in history could end this week after the Senate advanced a compromise deal late Sunday to restore federal funding, Reuters reported. A majority of senators voted Monday to approve legislation to end the record 41-day shutdown, with voting still underway. The agreement would reopen agencies closed since October 1, bringing relief to low-income families affected by disrupted food aid, hundreds of thousands of unpaid federal workers, and travelers hit by thousands of canceled flights. The deal would keep the government funded through January 30, while adding about USD 1.8 trillion annually to its USD 38 trillion debt. President Donald Trump’s Republicans hold majorities in both chambers of Congress, but Democrats used the Senate’s 60-vote rule to push for an extension of health insurance subsidies for 24 million Americans. The compromise also sets up a December vote on that measure.
