The House-passed bill includes a large tax cut, as well as more money for defense and immigration enforcement, financed in part by slashing health, nutrition, education and clean energy programs.

The U.S. House has passed a sweeping $3.8 trillion tax-and-spending package, narrowly approved in a 215–214 vote. Dubbed by former President Donald Trump as the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” it combines broad-based tax relief with deep cuts to social spending and marks a major turning point in U.S. fiscal policy.
