US President Donald Trump has undercut a Republican push to attach the SAVE Act to a government shutdown bill, amid a growing rebellion among conservative lawmakers who threaten to torpedo the funding deal he negotiated with Senate Democrats. The legislation aims to provide $1 billion for veterans and improve access to care. House conservatives are opposing the plan due to its inclusion of mental health services that they feel do not align with Republican values. As tensions rise, some Republicans may abandon Trump's deal in a bid to push through their preferred proposal.
