The Senate is set to approve a funding bill that maintains overall spending levels while reducing non-defense programs by $13 billion and increasing defense spending by $6 billion, averting a government shutdown. This marks a significant moment for House Republicans, who, under Speaker Mike Johnson's leadership and President Trump's influence, managed to unify and pass the bill first. Meanwhile, President Trump's fluctuating tariff policies continue to create uncertainty in the markets, with recent increases on steel and aluminum imports prompting retaliatory measures from the EU and Canada.
