President Donald Trump signed into law his sweeping package of tax cuts and spending reductions on Friday, using the backdrop of the White House’s Fourth of July picnic to mark the occasion. After rallying near-unanimous Republican support in Congress, the President finalized the multitrillion-dollar legislation surrounded by GOP lawmakers and Cabinet members. Seated at a desk on the White House driveway, Trump punctuated the signing by striking a gavel gifted by House Speaker Mike Johnson — the same gavel used to pass the bill the previous day. The moment capped a hard-fought victory for Trump, who had pushed to have the bill enacted by Independence Day, turning the national holiday into a celebration of a landmark — and contentious — policy win as military jets soared overhead.
