The White House and top Democrats have agreed to a continuing resolution to keep the government funded at the end of this month, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said, although he stressed that it won’t be linked to a pandemic relief package, after negotiations stalled.

“We’re going to move forward with a clean CR [continuing resolution], hopefully, through the beginning of December,” Mnuchin told reporters at the White House.
