U.S. President Joe Biden signed into law a stopgap bill that will fund the federal government through early March and avert a partial government shutdown, the White House said on Friday. The U.S. House of Representatives passed a stopgap measure on Thursday, meant to give Congress a few more weeks to approve a US$1.59 trillion spending deal negotiated by Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson for the 2024 fiscal year that began Oct. 1.
