‘Relatively cohesive': Donald Trump's ‘Big Beautiful Bill' will ‘reindustrialise the US'
United States Studies Centre Honorary Associate Harry Melkonian says US President Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill is 'relatively cohesive' with plans to 'reindustrialise the US'. 'This bill is so complex, they've taken away the special tax breaks for buying electric cars, but they have now granted deductions for auto loans for the purchase of any automobile that's made in the US,' Dr Melkonian told Sky News Australia. 'It's all relatively cohesive with his plan to reindustrialise the US.'

United States Studies Centre Honorary Associate Harry Melkonian says US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are doing a 'two-step' with each other amid the Russia-Ukraine war.
