US President Donald Trump on Sunday night signed the government spending and COVID-19 relief package into law, averting a government shutdown and delivering aid to individuals and businesses as the pandemic worsens.
Trump signed off the $2.3-trillion spending package days after he asked Congress to remove wasteful items in the bill and boost the amount of stimulus checks to $2,000 for individuals, up from $600. The president had threatened not to sign the bill if changes were not made.
