The 'Big Beautiful Bill' is part of US President Trump's efforts towards tax cuts and spending. The bill focuses on funds for the US president's top immigration, border, tax-cut and military priorities and policies.

This bill would also extend the 2017 tax cuts imposed during Trump's first presidency, which cut other taxes and boost spending on military and border security as part of the crackdown on immigration.
