The US House of Representatives has passed a 1.7 trillion-dollar bill to fund the federal government for fiscal 2023 through September.
The bill passed the House by a majority vote on Friday, after the Senate approved it the previous day. It now goes to President Joe Biden to be signed into law.
The package includes a record 858 billion dollars in defense funding and 45 billion dollars in aid for Ukraine.
The legislation also bans the use of TikTok, a video-sharing app operated by a Chinese firm, on government devices, reflecting concerns about information leaks to the Chinese government through the platform.
The bill also includes a provision that clarifies that the vice president has no power to overturn the results of a presidential election.
The measure is intended to help prevent a recurrence of the violence in January last year, when supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol.
