Congress may have reached a defense spending compromise amid concerns it would not pass the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for the first time in 58 years.
Lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate Armed Services Committees agreed on a compromise version of the NDAA, according to Reuters. The $738 billion defense bill is expected to pass before lawmakers leave Washington D.C. for the end of the year.
Those lawmakers reportedly faced a strong divide over policies favored by President Donald Trump. The divide between the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives and Republican-controlled Senate might have prevented a working defense bill, but lawmakers have agreed to move forward with the legislation.
