U.S. President Joe Biden signed a stopgap spending bill preventing a government shutdown just ahead of Friday's deadline.

The bill passed the House and Senate by wide bipartisan margins earlier this week, with the president signing the bill into law Thursday while attending the 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:Asiꦗa-Pacific Economic Cooꦯperation summit in San Francisco.

The move will keep the government funded at current levels for approximately two month𝐆s, with a funding deadline for some government agencies and programs on Jan. 19, while others must be funded by a subsequent Feb. 2 deadline.

The staggered deadlines could allow lawmakers more t꧙ime to negotiate longer-term solutions but also create two dates when there could be a risk of a p𒀰artial government shutdown.

The bill excludes the White House's nearly $106 billion wartime aid request for Israel and Ukraine, along with additional funding for humanitarian assistance, border security, and other requests. Lawmakers are expected to resume negotiations on these requests following the Thanksgiving holiday, with the aim of reaching a comprehensive agreement.
