Further provisions include $16 billion for military innovation and artificial intelligence, which will fund technologies such as kamikaze drones, drone boats, and underwater drones. Additionally, $15 billion has been earmarked for nuclear deterrence initiatives.

Another $150 billion has been designated for border security, immigration enforcement, and deportation efforts. This reflects the administration’s continued focus on tightening immigration controls and reinforcing the US-Mexico border.

President Trump signed the bill into law during a Fourth of July military family picnic held at the White House. “We made promises, and it’s really promises made, promises kept, and we’ve kept them,” Trump said from the South Lawn balcony.

“This is a triumph of democracy on the birthday of democracy,” the President added. “And I have to say, the people are happy.”
