US EditionTrump implores Republicans to unify behind his big tax cuts bill
- President Donald Trump urged House Republicans at the Capitol on Tuesday to unite behind his multitrillion-dollar tax cuts bill before planned votes this week.
- The bill, known as the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' is encountering opposition due to proposed reductions in Medicaid funding and disagreements over limits on local and state tax benefits, contradicting some of Trump's earlier campaign commitments.
- The 1,116-page legislative bill includes extensive tax relief measures, such as exempting gratuities, car loan interest, and Social Security from taxation, along with allocating $350 billion for border protection and defense initiatives.
- Trump claimed, 'We have unbelievable unity,' called himself a 'cheerleader' for Republicans, labeled dissenters as 'grandstanders,' and warned that anyone opposing the bill would be a 'fool.'
- Despite Trump's push, opposition within the party persists, and it remains unclear if the bill will secure enough support from the slim Republican House majority to pass and advance to the Senate.
