U.S. congressional negotiators came to an agreement late Sunday on a $1 trillion spending package that would fund the federal government through September. The deal includes pieces that appeal to both Republicans and Democrats, and if passed by the Senate and House of Representatives would represent the first major bipartisan legislation under President Donald Trump.

Congressional aides said there will be $1.5 billion for border security, but that the money is marked for purposes other than the wall that Trump has championed for the U.S.-Mexico border.

The president did, however, win as much as $15 billion in his push to boost military spending.

Congress must approve the spending bill and Trump needs to sign it before Friday in order to avoid a government shutdown.

Lawmakers already passed a short-term spending measure to avert a shutdown that was due to have begun Saturday. The next round of budget battles would then be about the 2018 fiscal year, which begins October 1st.
