The event marks the culmination of weeks of effort by the president and his team to get the bill across the finish line.

US President Donald Trump is to sign his landmark policy bill into law, a day after it was narrowly passed by Congress. The signing event at the White House on Friday afternoon, coinciding with 4 July celebrations, enacts key parts of the Trump agenda including tax cuts, spending boosts for defence and the immigration crackdown.

After days of negotiations and last-minute dealmaking, the US Congress passed a multitrillion-dollar tax and spending bill securing President Donald Trump’s domestic policy agenda.
