Trump Signs Long-Delayed $19.1B Disaster Aid Bill

President Donald Trump has signed a $19.1 billion disaster aid bill aimed at helping communities across the country bounce back from hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and fires.

Trump tweeted a photo of himself holding the signed bill in what appeared to his office aboard Air Force One. The tweet came shortly after Trump landed in Ireland following a ceremony in France commemorating the D-Day invasion.

Trump says the aid, which will benefit states including Georgia and Florida, is: �So important for our GREAT American farmers and ranchers.�

The bill languished for months amid disputes over Trump�s demand for border funding, as well as additional aid for Puerto Rico, which Trump opposed.

Trump nonetheless tweeted the U.S. territory �should love President Trump,� claiming that, �Without me, they would have been shut out!�
