Trump to sign sweeping tax and spending cuts bill at July 4 White House ceremony
Trump is expected to sign the bill around 5 pm ET during a White House event celebrating the July 4 Independence Day holiday read more President Donald Trump is set to sign a sweeping tax and spending cuts package into law at a White House ceremony on Friday, following its narrow approval by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. The legislation, which aims to fund Trump's immigration crackdown and make his 2017 tax cuts permanent, was passed by a tight 218-214 vote after a heated debate on the House floor. Critics warn the bill could cause millions of Americans to lose health insurance coverage. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Trump is expected to sign the bill around 5 pm ET during a White House event celebrating the July 4 Independence Day holiday. The ceremony will reportedly feature a flyover by stealth bombers and fighter jets that participated in recent US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The bill's passage marks a significant victory for Trump and his Republican allies, who argue that the legislation will stimulate economic growth. However, a nonpartisan analysis projects that it will add $3.4 trillion to the nation's $36.2 trillion debt, reported Reuters. Vice President JD Vance, who cast the tie-breaking vote to help the bill clear the Senate, said on Friday that the legislation supports Trump's goal of encouraging investment within the United States while discouraging investment abroad. 'We're going to look back on this, I really do think, as the beginning of the golden age of the United States of America,' Reuters quoted Vance as telling reporters during a visit to North Dakota. While some lawmakers in Trump's party expressed concerns over the bill's price tag and its hit to healthcare programs, in the end just two of the House's 220 Republicans voted against it, joining all 212 Democrats in opposition. The tense standoff over the bill included a record-long floor speech by House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who spoke for eight hours and 46 minutes, blasting the bill as a giveaway to the wealthy that would strip low-income Americans of federally-backed health insurance and food aid benefits.

Nuclear Inspectors Have Left Iran: UN Watchdog
UN nuclear watchdog inspectors left Iran on Friday, according to the agency, which called for the resumption of its "indispensable monitoring" after the Islamic republic officially suspended its cooperation. The suspension came after last month's 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel, which saw unprecedented Israeli and US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities and escalated tensions between Tehran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). "An IAEA team of inspectors today safely departed from Iran to return to the agency headquarters in Vienna, after staying in Tehran throughout the recent military conflict," the IAEA said in a post on X. "IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi reiterated the crucial importance of the IAEA discussing with Iran modalities for resuming its indispensable monitoring and verification activities in Iran as soon as possible," it added. Iran officially suspended its cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog on Wednesday. On June 25, a day after a ceasefire took hold, Iranian lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to suspend the cooperation. The law aims to "ensure full support for the inherent rights of the Islamic Republic of Iran" under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, with a particular focus on uranium enrichment, according to Iranian media. Washington, which has been pressing Tehran to resume the negotiations that were interrupted by Israel's resort to military action on June 13, has hit out at the Iranian decision, calling it "unacceptable".
