Trump signs tax and spending cut bill at White House July 4 picnic
Fighter jets and a stealth bomber streaked through the sky over the annual White House Fourth of July picnic as Mr Trump and first lady Melania Trump stepped out onto the White House balcony.
'America's winning, winning, winning like never before,' Mr Trump said, noting last month's bombing campaign against Iran's nuclear programme, which he said the flyover was meant to honour.
'Promises made, promises kept and we've kept them.'
The White House was hung with red, white and blue bunting for the regular Fourth of July festivities.
The United States Marine Band played patriotic marches — and, in a typical Trumpian touch, tunes by 1980s pop icons Chaka Khan and Huey Lewis.
The two separate flyovers bookended Mr Trump's appearance and the band playing the national anthem.
Democrats assailed the package as a giveaway to the rich that will rob millions more lower-income people of their health insurance, food assistance and financial stability.
'I never thought that I'd be on the House floor saying that this is a crime scene,' Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York said during a record-breaking speech that delayed the bill's passage by eight-plus hours.
'It's a crime scene, going after the health, and the safety, and the well-being of the American people.'

The legislation extends Mr Trump's 2017 multitrillion-dollar tax cuts and cuts Medicaid and food stamps by 1.2 trillion dollars. It provides for a massive increase in immigration enforcement.
Congress' non-partisan scorekeeper projects that nearly 12 million more people will lose health insurance under the law.
The legislation passed the House on a largely party-line vote on Thursday.
It passed by a single vote in the Senate, where North Carolina Republican Thom Tillis announced he would not run for re-election after incurring Mr Trump's wrath in opposing it.
Vice president JD Vance had to cast the tie-breaking vote.
The legislation amounts to a repudiation of the agendas of the past two Democratic presidents, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, in rolling back Mr Obama's Medicaid expansion under his signature health law and Mr Biden's tax credits for renewable energy.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates the package will add 3.3 trillion dollars to the deficit over the decade and 11.8 million more people will go without health coverage.
Mr Trump exulted in his political victory on Thursday night in Iowa, where he attended a kick-off of events celebrating the country's 250th birthday next year.
'I want to thank Republican congressmen and women, because what they did is incredible,' he said.
The president complained that Democrats voted against the bill because 'they hate Trump — but I hate them, too'.
The package is certain to be a flashpoint in next year's mid-term elections, and Democrats are making ambitious plans for rallies, voter registration drives, attack ads, bus tours and even a multi-day vigil, all intended to highlight the most controversial elements.
Upon his return to Washington early Friday, Mr Trump described the package as 'very popular' though polling suggests that public opinion is mixed at best.

Israeli air strikes kill 14 Palestinians in Gaza, including 10 seeking food
Israeli air strikes have killed 14 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including 10 as they sought food in the embattled enclave, hospital officials told reporters. Two American aid workers with the Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation were also injured in southern Gaza after unknown assailants threw grenades at them at a food distribution site, the organisation said. Advertisement The bloodshed comes as US-led ceasefire efforts aimed at halting a nearly 21-month war appear to be gaining momentum. Hamas gave a 'positive' response late on Friday to the latest US proposal for a 60-day truce, but said further talks are needed on implementation. Israel continues to pound targets in Gaza (AP) Guarantees are being sought by Hamas that the initial truce would lead to a total end to the war and withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza. US President Donald Trump has been pushing for an agreement and is set to host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House next week to discuss a deal. Advertisement The Israeli air strikes struck tents in the Muwasi area on the southern end of Gaza's Mediterranean coast, killing seven people, including a Palestinian doctor and his three children, according to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. Across #Gaza , attacks on tents and schools hosting displaced people and on people trying to access food continue to be reported, resulting in mass casualties.

The Israeli army did not provide immediate comment on the strikes. Meanwhile, eight Palestinians were killed near a GHF aid distribution site in the southern city of Rafah, the hospital said. One Palestinian was also killed near another GHF point in Rafah. Advertisement Much of Gaza's population has been displaced (AP) It was not clear how far away the Palestinians were from the sites. GHF denied the killings happened near their sites. Previously the organisation has said no-one has been shot at its sites, which are guarded by private contractors but can only be accessed by passing Israeli military positions hundreds of yards away. The army had no immediate comment, but has said it fires warning shots as a crowd-control measure and it only aims at people when its troops are threatened. One Palestinian was also killed waiting in crowds for aid trucks in eastern Khan Younis, officials at Nasser Hospital said. Advertisement Fuel is a lifeline in #Gaza - it runs hospital generators, ambulances, bakeries, and water pumps.

It was unclear to which organisation the aid trucks the Palestinians were waiting for belonged to, but the incident did not appear to be connected to GHF operations. Crowds of Palestinians often wait for trucks and unload or loot their contents before they reach their destinations. These trucks must pass through areas under Israeli military control. The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the incident. The war in Gaza was set off after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7 2023, killing some 1,200 people and taking 250 others hostage. Israel responded with an offensive that has killed over 57,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza health ministry, displaced nearly all of Gaza's two million people and left many on the edge of famine.

Donald Trump kisses Melania at July 4th party
President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump were caught kissing from the Truman Balcony on Friday ahead of Washington, D.C.'s grand Fourth of July fireworks display. The first couple kissed and hugged as supporters down below 'awww'-ed the scene. Trump hosted military families on the South Lawn for the occasion, marking the holiday with a picnic. Earlier in the night, he delivered a speech from the balcony before signing his 'Big Beautiful Bill' into law, as Congress made good on a promise to pass the mega piece of legislation before the Trump-imposed July 4 deadline. There were also a trio of military flyovers, including B-2 bombers, the stealth jets used in recent military action over Iran. The Trumps had slipped into the West Wing but returned to watch the annual fireworks display over the National Mall. The DJ played patriotic tunes — but also a number of eyebrow-raising pop songs from artists like Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, who vocally supported Trump's Democratic rivals Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris. Perry's song "Firework" was played. Other tracks included HOT TO GO! by Chappell Roan and Defying Gravity, sung by Cynthia Erivo in Wicked — both popular LGBTQ artists. A number of country hits were also in the mix. Audience members shouted 'four more years' and 'eight more years.' Trump is three and a half years into his second term and is Constitutionally ineligible to run again — despite some Republicans backing an amendment to allow it, citing his unique situation of serving two non-consecutive terms. His walk-on song, Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA," was played multiple times during the event. As the fireworks ended, YMCA played — Trump's traditional walk-off tune. He did his trademark dance and even got Melania to briefly join in, though neither performed the YMCA letter moves. The crowd included Cabinet members and Trump officials such as Joint Chiefs Chair Dan 'Razin' Caine, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, and EPA Secretary Lee Zeldin. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was photographed holding up the 'Big, Beautiful Bill' after Trump's signing. Wiles was seen in conversation with Katie Miller, wife of top adviser Stephen Miller, who worked for VP Mike Pence in the previous administration and has been working with Elon Musk in this one. After weeks of tension over the bill, Musk is now threatening to start a political party and support Republicans like Rep. Thomas Massie. Trump and Melania departed for their Bedminster, New Jersey golf resort after the celebration, with the president pumping his fist as they boarded Air Force One.

Here we go again: latest Trump tariff deadline looms amid inflation concerns
When Donald Trump unveiled his 'liberation day' tariffs in the spring, only to pull the plug days later as panic tore through global markets, his officials scrambled to present the climbdown as temporary. Three months of frenetic talks would enable the Trump administration to strike dozens of trade agreements with countries across the world, they claimed. 'We're going to run,' the White House trade adviser Peter Navarro told Fox Business Network. 'Ninety deals in 90 days is possible.' The 90-day pause Trump ordered on his steep tariffs is almost up, and 90 deals have not materialized. The US is again on the brink of launching a trade assault against dozens of countries, with rates including 27% on Kazakhstan, 47% on Madagascar and 36% on Thailand. 'I'm not thinking about the pause,' the president claimed during a briefing with reporters earlier this week, when asked about Wednesday's deadline. 'I'll be writing letters to a lot of countries. And I think you're just starting to understand the process.' Business leaders, lobbyists, economists and investors might disagree. Even officials in Trump's own administration have at times struggled to keep up. Another cliff edge has reared into view, forcing them to return to a familiar question: will he actually go through with this? 'I would suspect he's serious,' said Marc Busch, professor of international business diplomacy at Georgetown University. 'I think he's going to give a pass to the countries negotiating in good faith. But as of 9 July, a lot of the news will be big tariffs that the US hasn't seen since the 1930s are in effect.' A handful of agreements have emerged, cooling some tensions. A partial deal with the UK was first to emerge, before a delicate truce with China, and a pact with Vietnam. Officials are also said to be closing in on a 'framework' arrangement with the EU. But these breakthroughs have been significantly narrower than conventional free trade agreements, which can take years to hammer out. 'These aren't real trade deals. These are cessations of hostility,' said Busch. 'These are purchasing agreements that may or may not appease Trump for maybe a little while, thrown in with some aspirational stuff.' Even if Trump extends the 90-day pause next week, or strikes myriad deals at breakneck pace, current tariff levels are still much higher than they were before his return to office. The effects of this are still filtering through to prices for US consumers. 'The US economy is definitely, I would say, breaking more to the positive than would have been the narrative, or the expectation, kind of right after liberation day,' said John Waldron, president of Goldman Sachs. 'There's still an expectation that we're going to see more inflation over the course of the summer.' Mid-sized businesses in the US face an estimated $82.3bn in additional costs if the US maintains a 10% universal rate on all imports, as well as higher rates of 55% on China and 25% on Mexico and Canada, according to analysis by the JPMorganChase Institute. Such firms 'often play a crucial role in regional economies and as part of larger supply chains', said analysts at the institute. 'If they struggle, it may cause ripple effects for other businesses and their communities.' If the 'liberation day' tariffs are reimposed after the pause, costs would rise significantly. But even if they are not, the duties Trump has already introduced – and remain in force – are leaving companies with a hefty bill. The administration's playbook, of hiking tariffs on a country dramatically and then cutting them back as a result of an agreement, is 'like a retailer that one day increases prices by 100% and another day announces a 30% sale', said Busch. 'It's quite extraordinary that we're still debating this issue,' he added. 'American businesses are already eating and passing on parts of these tariffs to consumers.' No senior federal official has been more vocal about this reality than Jerome Powell, chair of the Federal Reserve, who – despite Trump's public demands and attacks – has kept US interest rates on hold while waiting to see how the administration's trade strategy pans out. 'Someone has to pay for the tariffs,' Powell said at a recent press conference, noting how the cost filters through a supply chain, from the initial manufacturer through to the customer buying a product. 'All through that chain, people will be trying not to be the ones who pick up the cost. 'But ultimately, the cost of the tariff has to be paid and some of it will fall on the end consumer. We know that. That's what businesses say. That's what the data says from past evidence. So we know that's coming.' Trump does not see it this way, insisting that tariffs are taxes on other countries, rather than US businesses and consumers. Whatever happens over the next few days, those attempting to take a longer-term view believe the main actions he has taken in recent months – like imposing blanket 10% tariffs – could remain in place for many years to come. 'We think it's likely that high and broad-based tariffs are here to stay because, of all the purported goals of trade policy, they're proving most successful at raising revenue,' said Michael Pearce, deputy chief US economist at Oxford Economics. 'Given the fiscal challenges that lie ahead, those revenues will be hard for future administrations to replace.'
