After days of uncertainty over whether he would issue a veto, President Donald Trump on Sunday evening signed a year-end spending bill with $900 billion in COVID-19 relief, including a third round of coronavirus relief payments.
In addition to the coronavirus aid, the 5,593-page bill funds the federal government for fiscal 2021 and includes extensions of tax incentives for biofuels and renewable biofuels, new benefits for rural health providers, and a two-year water resources authorization bill that could accelerate reconstruction of waterway projects.
