    Trump tweets that the agreement is “a real compromise” and a victory for the nation’s military and veterans.

    Aides say the deal would allow the government to continue to pay its bills and build upon recent budget gains for the Pentagon and domestic agencies.

    Lawmakers were working to avert a first-ever default on U.S. payments and to set overall spending limits and prevent automatic spending cuts.

    Trump says the deal contains no “poison pills.” But it comes as budget deficits are rising to $1 trillion levels.

    “But it comes as budget deficits are rising to $1 trillion levels.”
