U.S. President Joe Biden signed his $1 trillion US infrastructure deal into law Monday on the White House lawn, hailing it as an example of what bipartisanship can achieve.

Support for Biden has taken a hit amid rising inflation and the inability to fully shake the public health and economic risks from COVID-19.
A smattering of Republican lawmakers were on hand for what might be one of the last celebratory displays of bipartisanship ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
