Trump highlights air traffic control modernisation as Republicans work on one big beautiful bill

Trump urges House to pass his "one big beautiful bill" before July 4, promising tax cuts, border security, and air traffic control upgrades.

"We are on the precipice of delivering Massive General Tax Cuts... and permanently securing our borders. – Donald Trump"

Washington, DC, June 28

US President Donald Trump made another pitch for the "one big, beautiful bill" on Friday, praising the Republican senators for working during the weekend to complete the bill. He stated that "one big, beautiful bill" will modernise air traffic control in the US.

He called on the House to send him the bill before July 4, stressing, "We can get it done." Trump stated that Republicans are "on the precipice of delivering massive general tax cuts, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on social security for our seniors, permanently securing our borders, an even bigger and more powerful military.

In a post shared on his social media platform Truth Social, he stated, "The Great Republicans in the U.S. Senate are working all weekend to finish our "ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL." We are on the precipice of delivering Massive General Tax Cuts, NO TAX ON TIPS, NO TAX ON OVERTIME, NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY FOR OUR SENIORS, Permanently Securing our Borders, an even Bigger and More Powerful Military (I rebuilt it during my First Term, and it is already the Best, but we will make it BETTER!), unleashing our American Economy, dominating the Energy Market, creating Jobs, and getting money back to American Families."

He further stated, "The House of Representatives must be ready to send it to my desk before July 4th -- We can get it done. It will be a wonderful Celebration for our Country, which is right now, "The Hottest Country anywhere in the World" -- And to think, just last year, we were a laughingstock. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Trump also stated that the "one big beautiful bill" will modernise air traffic control system in the US. He emphasised that it is time to pass this bill into law.

In a video message recorded at the White House, Trump stated, "After many years of decline in our air traffic control system, the one big beautiful bill will modernise this decrepit relic and give America the best, most advanced air traffic control system on Earth, the best by far. It contains a historic programme to update antiquated communications and radar systems, deteriorating hardware, and ancient software."

"This is really old stuff, it's ancient with the latest 21st century tools and equipment. It will improve runway safety and build new air traffic control centers for the first time in more than 50 years, and keep America flying safely and efficiently for decades to come. Many, many decades are going to go by before this one gets obsolete. It's the best in the world. It's time to pass the one big beautiful bill into law. We're going to get it done We're going to take care of air traffic control," he added.

Senate Republicans are working to resurrect Trump's "big, beautiful bill," which stalled Thursday after lawmaker Elizabeth MacDonough rejected one of its biggest cost-cutting provisions, The Hill reported.

The chamber's referee ruled the Senate's proposed cap on health care provider taxes breached the Byrd Rule, which governs what legislation can pass with a simple majority and avoid a filibuster under budget reconciliation rules. The provision would reduce hundreds of billions of dollars in federal Medicaid spending.

Speaking to reporters, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said that his leadership team has "contingency plans" to keep the bill moving forward, even though the key piece may now fall out of the bill. "We have contingency plans, plan B, plan C," he stated as he was going for a Republican lunch meeting, The Hill reported.

The decision announced on Thursday has Republican senators working for a way to pass the legislation by the July 4 deadline set by Trump. Senator Josh Hawley stated, "We have no idea what's going to happen here, we got to work on some kind of a fix." He added, "Hopefully their fix will involve protecting rural hospitals," The Hill reported.

Hawley was one of several Republican lawmakers, including Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski Jerry Moran and Thom Tillis who voiced strong concerns that capping health care provider taxes could result in several rural hospitals across the country facing bankruptcy.

Trump's confidence is admirable but the rural hospitals issue reminds me of our PHC challenges in India. Infrastructure bills must consider healthcare impacts everywhere, not just cities. Hope they find a balanced solution 🤞

As an aviation professional, I appreciate the focus on ATC modernization. Our ATC systems in India also need urgent upgrades - hope our government takes note! The "ancient software" comment hits close to home 😅

The tax cuts sound great but what about the deficit? We've seen in India how populist measures can strain budgets. Wish politicians everywhere would think long-term rather than just next election cycle.

"Hottest country in the world" comment made me chuckle 😂 Reminds me of our politicians' grand claims. But seriously, infrastructure investment is good - hope India also speeds up our airport modernizations like Delhi T1 renovation!

The July 4 deadline seems arbitrary. In India we've seen how rushed legislation leads to implementation problems (demonetization anyone?). Proper debate is needed, especially for something affecting hospitals and aviation safety.
