The United States Congress passed a massive year-end bill Monday night that includes a $900-billion coronavirus aid plan.
Both the House of Representatives and the Senate passed the measure with large majorities, although lawmakers had only a few hours to examine the more than 5,000-page bill. It approved 1.4 trillion dollars in spending to keep the U.S. government operating.
