White House says Obama to sign stopgap funding bill
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama will sign a stopgap funding measure approved by the U.S. Congress on Wednesday, but U.S. lawmakers should pass a budget that reverses harmful spending cuts known as sequestration, the White House said.
"The American people deserve far better than last-minute, short-term legislating," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said in a statement.
