The US House of Representatives passed a tax and spending bill that signifies a legislative victory for Donald Trump in his second term. The bill aims to enhance immigration enforcement and reduce federal safety net programs. It received a narrow vote of 218-214, with only two Republicans opposing. Key components include accelerated deportation processes, fulfillment of Trump's border wall plans, and permanent extensions of previous tax cuts. The legislation is expected to undermine climate efforts by removing tax incentives for renewable energy investments.
The legislation is expected to speed up and expand Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportations, and will probably make Trump's longstanding desire for a wall along the border with Mexico a reality.
The bill's centerpiece is a permanent extension of tax cuts made in 2017, during Trump's first term, as well as the creation of new, temporary tax incentives.
