WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Joe Biden on Friday signed the U.S. defense policy bill into law after the legislation passed Congress last week, the White House said.
The legislation includes a record $886 billion in annual military spending and authorizes policies such as aid for Ukraine and push-back against China in the Indo-Pacific.
