Title is inaccurate. The "bill" is not canceled. Trump canceled the "signing" ceremony for the bill (and so far is stating he will not sign it).

If he fails to sign or veto it then in about two weeks, it will automatically become law anyway.

    This is inaccurate. If the president fails to sign a bill within 10 days (not including sundays) while congress is not in session then the bill does not become law. This is known as a pocket veto. Congress is out of session the next 2 weeks, so Trump does need to sign the bill for it to become law.

      Congress has remained in technical session (by having one member open and close the House each day) constantly for decades. Actually ending the session would be a rather significant departure, and I've heard of no plans to do so.
