Trump Signs US Tax Spending Cuts Law Amid July 4 Ceremony

On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed into law the "One Big Beautiful Bill," a landmark legislative package featuring permanent tax cuts from his 2017 agenda, increased funding for military and border security, and significant spending cuts to social programs such as Medicaid and SNAP. The bill, which narrowly passed the House with a 218–214 vote, is projected to add over $3 trillion to the national deficit over the next decade and is expected to result in millions of Americans losing health insurance and federal aid. Trump celebrated the signing with a patriotic ceremony on the White House lawn, featuring a B-2 bomber flyover and attended by military families, Republican lawmakers, and White House officials, framing the bill as a major victory for his administration and a boost to American strength and security. While Republicans hailed the bill as a driving force for economic growth and border protection, Democrats uniformly opposed it, criticizing the cuts to healthcare and social services. The bill’s passage underscores Trump's continued focus on his immigration crackdown and defense priorities, despite concerns over its fiscal impact and humanitarian consequences.
