President Trump signed bipartisan legislation to revamp parts of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law and primarily ease burdens on small and regional banks Thursday, in a White House event that was overshadowed by his decision to cancel a planned meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

“It doesn’t seem so important now,” Trump said of the bill, after a brief statement on North Korea. “But it is important, it’s incredible.”
