About 15-minutes after it began, the bill signing has ended.
After First Lady Melania Trump spoke, President Trump addressed the crowd, at first briefly touching on his call earlier this morning with Russian President Vladimir Putin (and largely reiterating his TruthSocial post on the topic). The president said the two men spoke for about two-and-half hours and declared that “some progress has been made.” He also joked that Putin prefers Melania.
Sec. Lutnick entered shortly after the First Lady began speaking and, ducking, dashed across the lawn to take his seat in the front.
