Trump celebrates tax bill victory at Iowa fairground rally
DES MOINES, IOWA, July 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump took a victory lap in friendly territory on Thursday, celebrating passage of his massive tax-cut and border security bill among supporters at the Iowa State Fairground. Trump flew to the state, which voted for him by large margins during the last three presidential elections, directly after the U.S. House of Representatives passed his 'big, beautiful bill' and sent it to his desk to be enacted into law. 'Every major promise I made to the people of Iowa in 2024 became a promise kept,' Trump told the crowd of thousands at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines. By visiting the state Trump was reinforcing his image as a president who delivers on his promises, especially to his rural and conservative base. Trump said he will sign the bill at a White House ceremony on Friday, the Independence Day holiday in the United States and the deadline he had set for Congress to approve the mammoth piece of legislation. The measure will give Trump billions of dollars to press forward with his domestic agenda, ramping up migrant deportations and cutting taxes while rolling back health benefits and food assistance. 'This bill includes the largest tax cut in American history, the largest spending cut in American history, the largest border security investment in American history,' Trump said. The package will add $3.4 trillion to the nation's $36.2 trillion debt, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. The passage of the bill marked weeks of arm twisting by Trump and his allies in Congress to convince skeptical Republicans to push through the bill on a rapid timetable. It was part of a string of victories for Trump in recent days, including convincing Iran and Israel to agree to a ceasefire after the United States struck Iran's nuclear sites last month. Trump lambasted Democrats in Congress for voting against the measure, which passed on party-line votes in both chambers. He attributed that to Democrats hating him. 'But I hate them too," he said. Trump said the vote will make for campaign fodder during next year's midterm elections, when control of Congress will be at stake. Some Republicans worry that deep cuts to the Medicaid health program in the bill will hurt the party's prospects in the 2026 midterm elections. The president said the bill will bolster his already aggressive immigration enforcement and deportation efforts but again pledged to work with farms and hotels concerned about a thinning labor force. Trump's trade policies have whipsawed agricultural communities in Iowa, creating economic uncertainty and testing loyalties. Iowa farmers have been hit hard, especially with China's retaliatory tariffs slashing soybean exports and prices. Reuters spoke to five attendees at the rally who said they braved the sweltering heat to show support for Trump. Most praised his handling of immigration and grocery prices. Despite widespread media coverage, only one of the five was aware of the existence of the tax-cut bill and praised it for giving Trump more resources for immigration enforcement.

Trump set to impose tariffs up to 70 percent on dozens of nations
President Donald Trump is set to resume tariffs of up to 70 percent on dozens of countries, as many of the trade deals have not materialized. Trump said the White House would be sending out about '10 or 12' letters on Friday to countries where trade deals are not yet in place ahead of the July 9 deadline. The president didn't specify which countries in his remarks to reporters Thursday evening. 'So we're going to start sending letters out to various countries starting tomorrow,' Trump told reporters at Andrews Air Force Base on returning from a rally in Iowa, according to The New York Times. 'They'll range in value from maybe 60 or 70 percent tariffs to 10 and 20 percent tariffs.' In April, Trump put a 90-day pause on the 'reciprocal' tariffs he announced on so-called 'Liberation Day' after the move spooked the stock market.
