Senators broach $2 trillion in spending cuts in W.H. meeting with Trump

  • President Donald Trump met with Republican Senate Finance Committee members at the White House on May 30, 2025, to rally support for a megabill advancing his agenda.
  • The meeting followed weeks of negotiations as senators expressed concerns and sought modifications to the bill, which aims for passage by the Fourth of July deadline.
  • The legislation proposes extending the 2017 Trump tax cuts, increasing funding for the military and border security, and reducing assistance programs, which a recent analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates could raise the federal deficit by approximately $2.4 trillion within ten years.
  • Senators and public figures voiced mixed reactions, with John Thune calling it a "team effort," Ron Johnson criticizing it as not meeting the moment, and Elon Musk labeling it a "disgusting abomination."
  • Despite disagreements and a narrow margin for GOP defections, Republican leaders remain cautiously optimistic about passing the bill and advancing Trump’s legislative priorities.
