美眾院通過短期調(diào)高債務上限法案

The US House of Representatives on Tuesday approved a bill to increase the nation's borrowing limit in the short term to avert a looming debt default, sending it to President Joe Biden's desk for his signature.

美國國會眾議院10月12日通過一項短期調(diào)高聯(lián)邦政府債務上限的法案，暫時避免政府債務違約風險。由于參議院上周已通過這項法案，該法案隨后將遞交總統(tǒng)拜登簽署生效。

The House voted 219-206 along party lines to adopt a procedural rule, which automatically deemed as passed the short-term debt limit extension that the Senate approved last week.

眾議院以219票贊成、206票反對的結果批準了一項有關法案辯論的程序性規(guī)則，這意味著，短期調(diào)高債務上限的法案自動獲得眾議院批準。

The temporary measure would raise the federal government's debt limit by $480 billion, which would allow the US Treasury Department to meet obligations through Dec 3.

該法案將暫時調(diào)高債務上限約4800億美元，確保美國財政部可履行支付義務至12月3日。
