Trump drops threat to veto $1.3tn budget but vows: 'Never again'

US President Donald Trump has signed a $1.3tn (£921bn) package to fund the government for six months, while vowing never to approve 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.

But 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 federal agencies operating until 30 September.

The president suggested in a Friday morning tweet that he might reject the package.

But in an afternoon news conference he said that despite the "ridiculous" process of passing the measure he would sign it because of its large increase in military spending.

"There's a lot of things I'm unhappy about in this bill," he said, even though it was cleared by a Congress controlled by his own party.

He added: "I will never sign a bill like this again - nobody read it."

Mr Trump also told reporters: "I looked very seriously at the veto, but because of the incredible gains we've been able to make for the military, that over-rode any of our thinking."

The vote in the Senate in the early hours of Friday caps weeks of congressional horse-trading.

What about the Dreamers?

The bill does not address the fate of roughly 700,000 young immigrants known as "Dreamers" who illegally entered the US as children.

They were enrolled in the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (Daca) programme, but President Trump ended it in September.

Republicans and Democrats were unable to agree over the issue.

The White House and Republicans had reportedly offered Democrats a Daca extension of up to three years in return for full funding of Mr Trump's wall.

Democrats were said to have countered they would accept that only if a path to citizenship was guaranteed for all 1.8 million people eligible for Daca.

In Friday's news conference, Mr Trump said: "I do want the Hispanic community to know that Republicans are much more on your side than the Democrats who are using you for this purpose.

"The Democrats did not want Daca in this bill."

The wall President Trump said he was "not happy" with the amount allocated to construct his planned wall on the US-Mexico border.

"But it does start the wall and we will make that $1.6bn go very far," he said on Friday.

It was far short of the $25bn the White House had sought - and there are strings attached to the funding Congress has approved.

Six things that could topple Trump's border wall

Most of it can only be used to repair stretches of the 1,900 mile (3,100km) border where there already is a wall, according to the Washington Post.

Under the bill, just 33 miles of new barriers can be built and only using "bollard" fencing or levees, not the concrete prototypes Mr Trump has viewed in photo ops, reports the newspaper.

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi appeared to taunt Republicans over funding for a wall, which her party firmly opposes.

"If you want to think you're getting a wall, just think it and sign the bill," she said to Mr Trump's congressional supporters.
