President Trump is expected to sign the so-called "big, beautiful bill" in a ceremony on Friday at the White House to coincide with the July 4 holiday.It comes after the House approved the measure on Thursday.

The legislation now heads to the House for possible final approval, though a handful of Republicans there have already voiced opposition.

The budget bill is central to Donald Trump’s agenda and includes many of the promises the president has made on the campaign trail, particularly on tax cuts. For this reason, Trump has pushed for its speedy passage through Congress, and has self-imposed a 4 July deadline on lawmakers to get the bill through.
