That would mark a retreat for the White House, which reportedly sought to extend the caps another two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Donald Trump was upbeat Monday about the status of budget talks, saying, \u201cWe\u2019re having very good talks,&#8221; with Pelosi and other congressional leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVery important that we take care of our military. Our military was depleted and in the last two and a half years, we\u2019ve un-depleted it, to put it mildly,\u201d Trump said. \u201cWe have made it stronger than ever before. We need another big year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Top lines for defense and nonmilitary spending were not immediately disclosed. Senate Republicans have already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2019\/06\/27\/us-senate-passes-its-defense-policy-bill-86-8-setting-up-fight-with-house\/\" target=\"_blank\">advanced legislation<\/a> backing $750 billion in defense spending for fiscal 2020 (a figure supported by the White House to maintain military readiness) while House Democrats have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2019\/07\/12\/military-budget-showdown-set-as-democrats-advance-authorization-bill-over-gop-objections\/\" target=\"_blank\">moved<\/a> a slimmer, $733 billion military funding plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Previous budget deals modified budget caps for equal increases in defense and nondefense accounts, and the source said the near-final deal includes \u201cparity.\u201d It\u2019s unclear whether in this case that means a percentage or dollar increase and what the starting point would be for that increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mnuchin and Pelosi are \u201cdown to some technical language issues,\u201d and the former \u2015 who has emerged as the White House\u2019s lead negotiator on the budget impasse \u2015 \u201chas been keeping the president and congressional Republicans updated regularly\u201d on the progress of the negotiations, the source said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The administration backed off its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rollcall.com\/news\/congress\/white-house-offers-up-extensive-menu-of-cuts-for-caps-deal\" target=_blank>reported priority<\/a> of $150 billion in spending cuts, as negotiators settled on $75 billion in offsets instead. The near-final agreement contains items from the same bipartisan offset package from the last bipartisan caps agreement, the source said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, past budget deals have advanced in Congress only to be upended at the last moment by President Donald Trump, who has proclaimed in the past that nonmilitary spending must be trimmed to rein in wasteful government spending. Trump has not yet publicly commented on this proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Republicans in both the House and Senate have argued the fiscal 2020 defense budget should not go below that $750 billion mark, citing congressional testimony from defense officials that 3 to 5 percent year-over-year budget growth is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The amount reflects focus on great power competition, as called for in the 2018 National Defense Strategy. The last two budgets were more focused on replenishing depleted munitions stocks and addressing readiness concerns that were the result of statutory budget caps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump\u2019s nominee for defense secretary, Army Secretary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2019\/07\/18\/sasc-approves-esper-and-milley-to-lead-pentagon-teeing-up-final-vote\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mark Esper<\/a>, cited the long-term risk from China in testimony last week in support of both the president\u2019s budget request and the need for a two-year budget deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI cannot overstate how important it was for [the Department of Defense] last year to receive the budget on time,\u201d Esper said. \u201cIt really allowed us to accelerate the readiness gains we made, to advance our modernization efforts, and do all those things that the National Defense Strategy tells us to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The retreat from the possibility of a one-year continuing resolution, which lawmakers and the administration had openly discussed, is a win for the Pentagon. While short-term stopgap CRs are nothing new, CRs do lock in spending at the previous year\u2019s level and bar new programs from starting as well as production increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A \u201cclean\u201d CR would have provided $716 billion. However, since the budget cap for defense is $576 billion for 2020, the CR would have violated statutory budget caps by approximately $71 billion and triggered a sequester of that amount in January 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The White House and congressional negotiators are racing against the clock to reach a budget deal to ease statutory spending caps and avoid a government shutdown that would start Oct. 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the House taking a recess at the end of the week, Pelosi has only days to muscle through any potential deal, while the Senate has another week before its summer recess begins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin have
