Congress Approves Deal to End Government Shutdown, Avert Debt Crisis

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress approved a budget deal early Wednesday that would avert a potentially disastrous debt crisis and end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. The Senate passed the measure 81-18, and the House followed with a 240-186 vote. The deal, which President Donald Trump is expected to sign, includes $1.37 billion for border security, far less than the $5.7 billion Trump had demanded for his proposed border wall.
