Trump and Republicans plot radical policy agenda in one ‘big, beautiful bill’

House speaker says party seeks single piece of legislation covering tax cuts, immigration and military spending

Donald Trump is working with top Republicans in Congress to devise a single big, beautiful bill" that will contain all of his major policy ambitions - including a clampdown on immigration, tax cuts, and increased military spending in an attempt to supercharge his radical agenda as he embarks on a second presidency.

The plan to pile all of Trump's main policy goals into one mega-bill, against the wishes of some top congressional Republicans, raises the prospect of months of potentially bruising political in-fighting needed to secure its passage. Though the Republicans hold both chambers of Congress, their margin in the House is the slimmest in almost a century.
