Trump Signs Tax and Spending Bill on July 4

US President Donald Trump signed a bill of tax breaks and spending cuts at the White House on July 4, 2025. The bill will fund Trump's immigration crackdown, make his 2017 tax cuts permanent, and is expected to impact health insurance for millions of Americans. It was passed with a 218-214 vote after a debate in the House.

Trump held an outdoor ceremony resembling a political rally, with military jets flying overhead and supporters in attendance. He praised the bill for its tax cuts, spending reductions, and border security investments. The bill's passage is seen as a victory for Trump and Republicans, despite concerns about its impact on the national debt and healthcare programs.

Democrats criticized the bill as favoring the wealthy and harming low-income Americans. The law is expected to influence the 2026 congressional elections. According to the source: Rappler.
