President Trump is leveraging a newly brokered peace in the Middle East to urge Congress into action on his sweeping budget reconciliation plan, known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” The White House aims to deliver this signature legislative package by July 4, reinforcing Trump’s domestic agenda following foreign policy wins.
According to a senior White House official, Trump instructed Senate allies: “Don’t go home. No one goes on vacation until it’s done.” The bill is expected to be sent to the president’s desk before Independence Day, following the strong Senate push.
Talking points released by the White House highlight priorities such as tax relief for working families, border security, a modernized military, and shrinking government waste. The plan emphasizes “Main Street over Wall Street” and promotes an “America First tax policy” aimed at boosting economic growth.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune expressed optimism, stating that GOP senators plan to finish the bill in the Senate this week. He emphasized the measure’s alignment with Trump’s agenda by stressing border security, military modernization and energy dominance.
This legislative strategy follows Trump’s recent diplomatic push in the Middle East, including a historic $142 billion arms deal and ongoing efforts to normalize regional peace—a diplomatic approach described by Trump as favoring “making money not war”. The administration hopes international stability will ease passage of its domestic priorities.
Congressional Republicans have largely rallied around the package. Even small-business owners nationwide voiced support, linking the bill’s tax provisions to economic opportunity and middle-class growth . However, analysts warn that the sweeping tax cuts, expansion of work requirements, and reduced social program funding may ignite debate on the bill’s fiscal impact and its cost.
As lawmakers assess the One Big Beautiful Bill’s cost, analysts note it could add an estimated $2.4 trillion to the debt over ten years, per the Congressional Budget Office. The upcoming weeks promise high-stakes negotiations on tax code permanency, border funding, military spending and entitlement reforms.
Trump’s strategy is clear: build on global successes to secure domestic reforms. With both diplomatic wins and legislative pressure in play, July 4 is shaping up as a potential turning point under his leadership.
