US President Donald Trump has signed a $1.3 trillion package to fund the government until September, vowing never to enact such a bill again.
Hours earlier, the president threatened to veto the bill over its lack of full funding for his border wall.
Congress passed the measure to avert what would have been the third shutdown of the US government this year.
Many of the president's fellow Republicans railed against the measure, one calling it "monstrous".
The spending bill needed Mr. Trump's signature by a Friday midnight deadline to keep the federal agencies operating.
