Saint Croix, United States: President Joe Biden on Thursday (Friday in Manila) signed off on a $1.7 trillion spending bill that will keep the US government funded through the next fiscal year -- notably including another big package for Ukraine's war effort.

Biden, vacationing over the New Year's holiday on Saint Croix in the US Virgin Islands, tweeted a picture of himself signing the bill into law.
