The congressionally approved $2.3 trillion year-end spending package, which includes $900 billion in pandemic relief, provides hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign aid and other offshore initiatives.

The 5,593-page legislation (pdf)—by far the longest bill ever—came together Sunday after months of battling, posturing, and post-election negotiating. It passed the House and Senate on Monday and is expected to be signed into law by President Donald Trump within days.
