US Senate approves expenses project to avoid government closure

The US government will not close on Saturday after a vote in the Senate that approved the Republican expenses plan.

The United States Senate approved on Friday a provisional spending bill, avoiding a partial closure of the government, after the Democrats turned back in a confrontation promoted by anger for the campaign of President Donald Trump to cut the federal workforce.

After days of heated debate, the main Senate Democrat, Chuck Schumer, broke the stagnation on Thursday night, stating that he would vote for the bill to advance.

Schumer said he did not like the bill, but believed that provoking a closure would be a worse result, since Trump and his advisor Elon Musk were acting quickly to cut the expense.

The Senate voted 54-46 to approve the bill and send it to Trump to turn it into law, after rejecting four amendments.

The House of Representatives controlled by the Republicans approved at the beginning of this week the measure, which leaves the stable spending in around 6.75 billion dollars in the fiscal year that ends on September 30.

The Democrats had expressed their anger on the bill, which will cut the expense in around 7,000 million dollars and that they do nothing to stop Trump's campaign to stop the expense ordered by Congress and cut tens of thousands of jobs.

The measures occur at a time when Trump is engaged in a commercial war with some of the closest allies in the United States, which has caused an important liquidation of actions and has increased the fears of a recession.
