The U.S. Senate passed a Republican bill promoting President Donald Trump's immigration, energy and defense policies in the early hours of Friday morning, despite Trump's preference for a House of Representatives version of the bill that would include trillions of dollars in tax cuts.

Senate Republicans passed their preferred two-part budget on Friday after a marathon voting session, doing so before the House could vote on their opposing version.

Senate Republicans have pushed ahead on a scaled-back budget bill. On a party-line vote late Tuesday, 50-47, they agreed to start consideration of a $340 billion package.
