According to foreign media reports, US President-elect Trump has backed a new deal reached by House Republicans on short-term government spending and a potential debt ceiling increase. "The newly agreed USA Relief Act 2024 will keep the government open, provide funding for farmers and others, and provide relief to those severely affected by devastating hurricanes," Trump said. The deal includes a three-month extension of the current level of government funding, commonly known as the Continuing Resolution Act (CR), and contains an extension of $110 billion in disaster and farm aid, a key demand from Democratic leaders. The agreement also seeks to suspend the federal debt ceiling until January 2027. The latest statement from top Democrats called the deal "laughable." The bill is expected to be voted on in Congress at 7:00 am Beijing time this morning.
