US EditionTrump budget reaction, reconciliation work headline this week at Capitol
- President Donald Trump released a 'skinny' version of his fiscal 2026 budget request on Friday, ahead of Capitol Hill hearings this week.
- The budget release and ongoing House reconciliation markups come amid disputes over proposed cuts that even some Republicans, including Senator Susan Collins, question.
- Meanwhile, Senate Republicans prioritize the GENIUS Act, stablecoin regulation legislation led by Senator Bill Hagerty, aiming to modernize payments and secure U.S. Dollar dominance.
- However, nine Senate Democrats, led by Ruben Gallego, oppose the bill's current version due to insufficient safeguards on anti-money laundering, national security, and issuer accountability.
- This partisan disagreement casts doubt on the legislation's near-term prospects and suggests that bipartisan negotiation will be crucial for advancing stablecoin regulation and budget measures.
