US President Donald Trump on Friday signed into law a $738 billion defense bill which includes controversial provisions calling for sanctions against Russia and Turkey.
Trump approved the 2020 National Defence Authorisation Act (NDAA), which will increase the US' defense spending by about $20 billion, or about 2.8 percent, at a signing ceremony held at the Joint Base Andrews near Washington.
The sprawling legislation has stirred up opposition overseas as it contains punitive provisions against Russia, Turkey, and other countries.
