WASHINGTON \u2015 The Senate\u2019s Republican lead appropriator warned President Donald Trump Friday against a year-long continuing resolution<\/a> and support for an an eventual compromise with the Democratic-led House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby, R-Ala., met with Trump and lead officials from the White House budget office for an hour Friday morning amid fears the House\u2019s initiation of presidential impeachment proceedings would further hinder the 2020 appropriations process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president is expected to sign a stopgap continuing resolution that will keep the government open past the end of the fiscal year, Sept. 30, and through Nov. 21. That would buy more time for negotiations over 2020 spending levels, which were derailed in part over border wall funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI mentioned that if we didn\u2019t move the process, I told them we would be looking at another CR for three or four weeks, probably another one, and then one for the year,\u201d Shelby told reporters afterwards. \u201cThey don\u2019t want that \u2015 I don\u2019t think they want that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t
