US EditionTrump spending bill faces opposition from some Republican senators
- President Donald Trump is pressing the Senate to pass a 1,000-page spending and tax bill by July 4 at the White House in Washington this week.
- The bill, seeking to extend 2017 tax cuts worth over $4.5 trillion and add new breaks like no taxes on tips, requires cuts to Medicaid, food stamps, and green energy programs.
- Senate Majority Leader John Thune and other GOP senators face pressure from colleagues who want adjustments, especially on Medicaid cuts that could remove healthcare from 8.6 million people.
- Billionaire Elon Musk condemned the package as a "disgusting abomination" that would cut subsidies for Tesla, and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer called it "ugly to its very core."
- Opposition by some Republicans, including Rand Paul over the $4 trillion debt ceiling increase, complicates approval despite Treasury warnings that failure to raise the limit risks default.
