美国会谈判通过至九月的联邦预算
美国国会谈判人员星期天晚间达成1万亿美元的开支计划，批准了九月底以前联邦政府的运转资金。这项协议包括对共和民主两党都有吸引力的内容，如果获得参议院和众议院的批准，该法案将成为川普总统执政期间第一个重要的跨党派议案。
国会议员助手们表示，预算法案包括15亿美元用于边境安全，但将用于川普总统力主修建美墨边境隔离墙以外的项目。
川普总统也有斩获，他推动增加军费开支，获得多达150亿美元的增长。
国会必须批准这项开支法案，川普总统需要在本周五前签署，这样才能避免政府关门。
国会议员们此前已批准一项短期开支措施，避免了上周六开始可能出现的政府关门。下一轮预算之争将是10月1日开始的2018财年预算案。
Congressional Negotiators Agree to Fund Government through September
U.S. congressional negotiators came to an agreement late Sunday on a $1 trillion spending package that would fund the federal government through September. The deal includes pieces that appeal to both Republicans and Democrats, and if passed by the Senate and House of Representatives would represent the first major bipartisan legislation under President Donald Trump.
Congressional aides said there will be $1.5 billion for border security, but that the money is marked for purposes other than the wall that Trump has championed for the U.S.-Mexico border.
The president did, however, win as much as $15 billion in his push to boost military spending.
Congress must approve the spending bill and Trump needs to sign it before Friday in order to avoid a government shutdown.
Lawmakers already passed a short-term spending measure to avert a shutdown that was due to have begun Saturday. The next round of budget battles would then be about the 2018 fiscal year, which begins October 1st.
