‘Big Beautiful Bill' passes US Congress
Washington: US President Donald Trump on Thursday secured a major political victory when Congress narrowly passed his flagship tax and spending bill, cementing his radical second-term agenda and boosting funds for his anti-immigration drive. The bill underlined the President's dominance over the Republican Party, which had been wracked by misgivings over a text that will balloon the national debt and gut health and welfare support. A small group of opponents in the party finally fell into line after Speaker Mike Johnson worked through the night to corral dissenters in the House of Representatives behind the "One Big Beautiful Bill." The bill squeezed past a final vote 218-214, meaning it can be on Mr. Trump's desk to be signed into law on the July 4th Independence Day holiday. "One of the most consequential Bills ever. The USA is the 'HOTTEST' Country in the World, by far!!!" Trump said on social media as he scented victory. The timing of the vote slipped back as Democratic minority leader Hakeem Jeffries spoke against the bill for nearly nine hours to delay proceedings. The legislative win is the latest in a series of successes for Trump, including a Supreme Court ruling last week that curbed lone judges from blocking his policies, and US air strikes that led to a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. His sprawling mega-bill just passed the Senate on Tuesday and had to return to the lower chamber for a rubber stamp of the senators' revisions. The package honours many of Trump's campaign promises: boosting military spending, funding a mass migrant deportation drive and committing $4.5 trillion to extend his first-term tax relief. "Today we are laying a key cornerstone of America's new Golden Age," Johnston said. But it is expected to pile an extra $3.4 trillion over a decade onto the country's fast-growing deficits, while shrinking the federal food assistance program and forcing through the largest cuts to the Medicaid health insurance scheme for low-income Americans since its 1960s launch.

Trump's tariff war with China spoils US's firework festivals this 4th of July, sellers warn of worse in 2026
The Fourth of July fireworks will be more expensive as US President Donald Trump's trade war with China causes headaches for companies supplying fireworks for today's celebration. Sellers warned that things will be much worse next year read more The US imports almost all of its fireworks from China but tariffs have caused supply chain issues and scaled-back orders impacting this year and beyond. AFP The Fourth of July fireworks will be more expensive as US President Donald Trump's trade war with China causes headaches for companies supplying fireworks for today's celebration. The sellers warned that things can get worse next year on the 250th anniversary of the US founding if the trade war continues. According to The Independent, about 99 per cent of US fireworks come from China. Producers and importers have been struggling to navigate a rapidly changing tariff rate that has jumped from 10 per cent to 145 per cent, and to a current level of 30 per cent, which might expire in August. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Some of the sellers noted that they locked in much of their supply in April before Trump's 145 per cent tariffs came into effect. 'By the time we figured out how to navigate this tariff thing for this year, it was a little bit too late in the game,' Bob Hamilton, the owner of a seasonal fireworks business in Indiana, told Business Insider. China also faces the brunt Similar strains could be felt in fireworks manufacturing hubs of Hunan, China, which makes about 60 per cent of the world's fireworks. The province is known as the historical birthplace of fireworks. While speaking to NBC News, Wendy Tang, owner of Pyroshine Fireworks in Liuyang, said that the springtime is normally the boom season for US orders. However, many regular producers struggled to gauge how much product to produce given the fluctuating tariff rate. 'In the morning, it's 100 per cent. But in the afternoon, it's like 200 per cent,' she said. In light of this, industry figures in the US, who in the past lobbied Trump for an exemption to the tariffs, warned that the problem could magnify in 2026. While fireworks are a low-margin business, 2026 is expected to bring an unusually high demand for the product, given the fact that the United States will be celebrating its 250th year of independence. This, combined with ongoing supply chain disruptions including scaled-back production in China, packed warehouses, and competition for shipping container space, could all have an impact on 2026 fireworks displays. 'It's really the next year that's worrying us with the manufacturing and what tariffs will do,' said Stacy Schneitter-Blake, president of the National Fireworks Association, told The New York Times. Responding to these concerns, the White House told the NYT that 'real prosperity and patriotism isn't celebrating the independence of our country with cheap foreign-made firecrackers and trinkets.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD However, the president has a strong affinity for fireworks. During the 2020 Republican National Convention, Trump's name was written in the sky with fireworks. Recently, the Trump administration put up a fireworks show above the National Mall in Washington as part of an Army parade that coincidentally fell on his birthday. It is pertinent to note that during his first-term trade war with China, fireworks were exempt.

B-2 Bombers Roar Over White House As Trump Celebrates US Independence Day
Washington: US President Donald Trump signed his flagship tax and spending bill into law Friday, capping a grandiose White House Independence Day ceremony featuring a stealth bomber fly-by. "America is winning, winning, winning like never before," Trump said before signing the so-called " One Big Beautiful Bill" while flanked by Republican lawmakers who helped push it through Congress. Trump also played down criticism by Democrats that the unpopular legislation will slash social welfare programs, saying: "You won't even notice it." With First Lady Melania Trump at his side, Trump watched from the White House balcony as two B-2 bombers -- the same type that recently struck Iranian nuclear sites -- roared overhead, accompanied by F-35 and F-22 fighter jets. POTUS. FLOTUS. B-2 BOMBER. 🇺🇸🦅 MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! — The White House (@WhiteHouse) July 4, 2025 The 79-year-old's victory lap came a day after Republicans fell into line and passed the sprawling mega-bill, allowing him to sign it as he had hoped on the Fourth of July holiday. The bill honours many of Trump's campaign promises: extending tax cuts from his first term, boosting military spending, and providing massive new funding for Trump's migrant deportation drive. 'Never been anything like it' The legislation's signing caps two weeks of significant wins for Trump that have seen him tighten his grip on power and his party alike. The successes include the recent Iran-Israel ceasefire that was sealed after what he called the "flawless" US air strikes on Iran. Pilots who carried out the bombing on Iran were among those invited to the White House event, which included a picnic for military families on the South Lawn. "The last two weeks, there has never been anything like it, as far as winning," said Trump. Trump had, however, forced through the tax bill despite deep misgivings in the Republican Party that it would balloon the national debt. The legislation is expected to pile an extra $3.4 trillion over a decade onto the US deficit. It squeezed past a final vote in the House of Representatives 218-214 after Republican Speaker Mike Johnson worked through the night to corral the final group of dissenters. Trump thanked Johnson at the White House event, saying: "What a job." 'Horrible day' Trump's billionaire former ally, Elon Musk, was among the most vocal critics, and he has pledged to set up a new political party to oppose Republicans who backed the bill. Democrats and many voters have, meanwhile, expressed concerns that the "big beautiful bill" will gut health and welfare support. The bill will force through the largest cuts to the Medicaid health insurance program for low-income Americans since its 1960s launch, while also shrinking federal food assistance programs. Up to 17 million people could lose their insurance coverage under the bill, according to some estimates. Scores of rural hospitals are expected to close as a result. But Trump played down the concerns. "They've developed a standard line, and we can't let them get away with it. 'Oh, it's dangerous. Oh, everybody's going to die.' It's actually just the opposite," said Trump. Democrats hope public opposition to the bill will help them flip the House in the 2026 midterm election, pointing to data showing that it represents a huge redistribution of wealth from the poorest Americans to the richest. People attending the Fourth of July parade in Washington on Saturday had mixed feelings. "Yesterday was a horrible day, today is the best part of America," said Elisabeth Hubir, 70.
