President\u00a0Joe Biden\u00a0signed a $1.2 trillion funding package that keeps the US government running through Sept. 30, averting a partial shutdown.<\/p>\n

\n

The White House announced the signing on Saturday after the US Senate approved the package in the early morning hours. That ended a partisan tug-of-war, marked by repeated infighting among Republicans over amendments. With a midnight deadline looming, Senate leaders beat back efforts by conservative Republicans to enact deep spending cuts and restrictions on migration.<\/p>\n

Biden applauded passage of the funding package, but also prodded lawmakers to approve assistance for Ukraine, Israel and Indo-Pacific allies that has been stalled for months, as well as a measure that would tighten security at the US-Mexico border.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to be clear: Congress\u2019s work isn\u2019t finished,\u201d Biden said in a statement Saturday.<\/p>\n

NATO\u2019s top civilian official said last week that Ukraine is \u201crunning out of ammunition<\/a>,\u201d echoing warnings by the country\u2019s allies, including the US.<\/p>\n

The funding package increases defense appropriations by 3% while keeping overall domestic spending flat. Temporary spending measures had funded the federal government for the first six months of the federal fiscal year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
