U.S. lawmakers announced an agreement on Monday on a $738-billion
bill setting policy for the Department of Defense, including new
measures for competing with Russia and China, family leave for federal
workers and the creation of President Donald Trump’s long-desired Space
Force.
It also calls for sanctions on Turkey over its purchase of a Russian missile defense system, and a tough response to North Korea’s efforts to develop nuclear weapons.
The U.S. House of Representatives and Senate Armed Services Committees agreed on a compromise version of the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, after months of negotiations. It is expected to pass before Congress leaves Washington later this month for the year-end holiday break.
