美國衆議院批准政府預算案

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a budget bill to fund the government through September -- one without funding for the border wall President Donald Trump's promised during his campaign.

The $1.16 trillion spending bill passed with bipartisan support, 309 to 118. The bill now goes to the U.S. Senate, which is expected to approve it later this week before Trump signs it into law.

The spending bill averts a short-term crisis by authorizing federal spending through the end of the fiscal year, which is September 30. But it must be signed by the president by Friday to avoid a government shutdown.

Trump, after failing to win congressional approval for many of his spending and policy priorities for the next five months, said Tuesday the government "needs a good 'shutdown' in September" when lawmakers will be debating the 2018 funding plan.美國衆議院已經批准了維持政府運轉到今年9月底的預算法案，這項法案沒有爲川普總統競選期間承諾的修建美墨邊境隔離牆提供資金。

這項總額1萬1千6百億美元的開支法案得到兩黨的支持，最終以309對118票的投票結果獲得批准。該法案現在將送交美國參議院，參議院預計將在本週晚些時候批准這項法案，然後送交川普總統簽署成爲法律。

這項開支法案批准了至本財年結束前，也就是9月30日前的聯邦開支，避免了一場短期危機。但是法案必須在本週五前得到總統簽署，這樣才能避免政府停擺。

川普總統今後五個月的很多開支計劃和政策優先事項都未能贏得國會批准，他星期二表示，政府“今年9月需要好好停擺一次”。屆時國會將就2018財年的開支計劃進行辯論。
