Congress approved a spending measure last week to extend government funding levels through the end of the fiscal year .

The spending bill narrowly passed after a majority of Democrats opposed the package.

The Senate is now parsing through the legislation before holding their own vote on the matter.

Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee met with Trump on Thursday to continue discussions on the reconciliation bill.

A major component of the reconciliation package is funding to go toward securing the southern border.

The House -passed budget resolution outlines a $300 billion increase in mandatory spending.

Details of how that amount will be split or how funds will be spent has not yet been determined.

Some Republicans are pressing to preserve clean energy tax credits in the reconciliation bill.
