WASHINGTON, Muharram 17, 1437, Oct 30, 2015, SPA -- U.S. President Barack Obama said Friday that he will sign the two-year budget deal passed overnight by Congress as soon as it reaches his desk. Obama applauded lawmakers for a “responsible, long-term budget agreement that reflects our values, grows our economy, and creates jobs.” “Congress should build on this by getting to work on spending bills that invest in America’s priorities without getting sidetracked by ideological provisions that have no place in America’s budget process,” Obama said in a statement. --SPA 20:49 LOCAL TIME 17:49 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
