Washington, 21 December. (Adnkronos/Afp) – The United States Congress has approved the law that avoids the shutdown, avoiding the closure of government activities during the Christmas period, after weeks of tense negotiations until the last minute and approving a bill to finance the agencies federal until mid-March.
Since the midnight deadline had already passed just a few minutes ago, senators abandoned the normal procedure to speed up the vote on the package, saving Christmas for more than 800,000 workers who were at risk of being sent home without pay.
“It's good news that the bipartisan approach ultimately prevailed… It's a good outcome for America and for the American people,” Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a Senate speech.COPYRIGHT LASICILIA.IT © ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
