The move essentially punts a contentious debate over Trump's desire for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border since former President George H.W. Bush's funeral services halted congressional business ahead of the initial Dec. 7 funding deadline.

Republicans and Democrats have been locked in a stalemate for months over how much money to provide for Trump's border wall.

The House included $5 billion for the wall and other border security measures in a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security. But the Senate only offered $1.6 billion in border funds.

Trump has repeatedly threatened to trigger a partial shutdown if he does not get the wall funding he requested.
