Donald Trump Agrees On Spending Limit With Democrats

Donald Trump has agreed to a Democratic plan to lift the debt limit for three months, fund the government and rush aid to Hurricane Harvey victims. The US president went against Republican leaders who wanted to extend a debt-limit increase for longer, until after the 2018 mid-term elections.
Democrats announced the deal just before the House of Representatives passed $8bn (£6bn) for Harvey victims. Congress will need to approve the deal before it is finalised.

Democrats on the House floor pointed out that Republicans refused to pass a $50.5bn disaster relief package in the aftermath of the 2012 Superstorm Sandy, which ravaged north-east states, because it was not offset by budget savings elsewhere. Mr Trump's deal with the Democrats means that the Republican-controlled Congress will have to address partisan issues such as healthcare and immigration later in the year while negotiating with Democrats over a debt vote.. Guys, what do you think? ..
