As previously reported by Fox News Digital, the Senate passed the NDAA on Wednesday, sending the compromise bill approved with bipartisan support to the president's desk.
Trump signed it quietly Thursday evening, according to Reuters.

It also includes $175 million for the Baltic Security Initiative, which supports Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.
