SOP for government though. UK Gov got some draconian spying bill though while people were distracted by the whole Brexit vote, and a UK minister had to resign for sending an actual memo around on the day of 9/11 saying it was a good day to sneak out bad news...
It is kinda weird too because normally Trump flaunts his brain-dead policies to the whole world, but here he decided to use stealth. Something tells me this will not be the last time he does so.
