Biden signs $1.2 trillion funding package, averting US government shutdown

President Joe Biden has signed a $1.2 trillion package of spending bills after the United States Congress passed the long overdue legislation just hours earlier, ending the threat of a partial government shutdown.

“The bipartisan funding bill I just signed keeps the government open, invests in the American people, and strengthens our economy and national security,” Biden said in the statement on Saturday.
