President Trump issued a statement Presidential Message on Global Coptic Day, 2025 on June 1, 2025 stating:
Today, I join the Coptic Orthodox Christian community in observing Global Coptic Daya celebration of the ancient heritage, rich culture, and reverent worship of the Coptic Orthodox Church.
Tracing its roots to Saint Mark, the apostle of Jesus Christ and Evangelist who brought the Christian faith to Egypt in the first century, the Coptic Church has been a beacon of Christendom in Africa for nearly 2,000 years. The Coptic community has left an indelible mark on the hearts of millions of Christiansmost evidently seen in their timeless contributions to Christian theology and culture.
This Global Coptic Day, we also pause to reflect upon the vicious and ongoing persecution of Coptic Orthodox Christians in Africa and across the Middle East. In 2015, 21 Coptic construction workers were brutally executed by ISIS terrorists in Libya. Like persecuted Christians all around the world, these heroic martyrs refused to renounce their faithThey exemplified their sacrificial love and steadfast devotion to God, even in the face of certain death. The Copts persistence amid relentless persecution is a living testament to their unbreakable resolve and fearless dedication to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
As we remember the extraordinary contributions and tragic martyrdoms of Coptic Orthodox Christians, my Administration renews its commitment to vigorously defending the right to religious liberty, a bedrock of the American way of life. I was honored to recently establish the Religious Liberty Commission, a team of religious leaders tasked with ensuring that Americans can freely practice their faith without government interference. I also signed an Executive Order to eradicate the pervasive anti-Christian bias sweeping across our Nationcorrecting the unjust abuses, investigations, and persecutions of faithful Christians that occurred under the previous administration.
As our Nation celebrates Global Coptic Day, we pray for an increased love of God and a rebirth of religious faith both in the United States and around the world. Today and every day, may the treasured traditions of the Coptic Orthodox Christian community serve as a light for all Americansand may their unwavering devotion to Christ inspire our Nation to renew our love, faith, and trust in Almighty God.
The Coptic Church provides a short background on how they came to be founded:
The Coptic Orthodox Church is the Christian church that was founded in Egypt. The Copts as the successors of the ancient Egyptians are defined as the modern sons of the Pharaohs. They played an essential role in the whole Christian world, especially during the first five centuries. Their religious background helped them to accept Christianity with eagerness and to enjoy its depth through their ascetic life, meditation and studying of the Holy Scripture. The Copts are proud of the apostolicity of their church, whose founder is St. Mark, one of the seventy Apostles (Mark 10:10), and one of the four Evangelists. He is regarded by the Coptic hierarchy as the first of their unbroken 118 patriarchs, and also the first of a stream of Egyptian martyrs.
1. On January 11, 2018, the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) transmitted to me a report on the Secretarys investigation into the effect of imports of steel mill articles (steel articles) on the national security of the United States under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1862) (section 232). The Secretary found and advised me of his opinion that steel articles are being imported into the United States in such quantities and under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security of the United States.
2. In Proclamation 9705 of March 8, 2018 (Adjusting Imports of Steel Into the United States), and Proclamation 9980 of January 24, 2020 (Adjusting Imports of Derivative Aluminum Articles and Derivative Steel Articles Into the United States), I concurred with the Secretarys findings that steel articles, as defined in clause 1 of Proclamation 9705, and derivative steel articles, as described in clause 3 of Proclamation 9980, are being imported into the United States in such quantities and under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security of the United States, and I decided to adjust the imports of those steel articles and derivative steel articles by imposing a 25 percent ad valorem tariff on such articles imported from most countries. In Proclamation 10896 of February 10, 2025 (Adjusting Imports of Steel Into the United States), I decided to adjust the imports of steel articles and derivative steel articles by imposing a 25 percent ad valorem tariff on such articles imported from all countries.
3. On January 19, 2018, the Secretary transmitted to me a report on the Secretarys investigation into the effect of imports of aluminum articles on the national security of the United States under section 232. The Secretary found and advised me of his opinion that aluminum articles are being imported into the United States in such quantities and under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security of the United States.
4. In Proclamation 9704 of March 8, 2018 (Adjusting Imports of Aluminum Into the United States), and Proclamation 9980, I concurred with the Secretarys findings that aluminum articles, as defined in clause 1 of Proclamation 9704, and derivative aluminum articles, as described in clause 3 of Proclamation 9980, are being imported into the United States in such quantities and under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security of the United States, and decided to adjust the imports of aluminum articles and derivative aluminum articles by imposing a 10 percent ad valorem tariff on such articles imported from most countries. In Proclamation 10895 of February 10, 2025 (Adjusting Imports of Aluminum Into the United States), I decided to adjust the imports of aluminum articles and derivative aluminum articles by imposing a 25 percent ad valorem tariff on such articles imported from all countries.
5. In Proclamation 10896 and Proclamation 10895, I instructed the Secretary to continue to monitor imports of steel articles and derivative steel articles, and aluminum articles and derivative aluminum articles, respectively, and to review the status of such imports with respect to the national security of the United States. The Secretary has done so and has advised me accordingly.
6. After considering current information newly provided by the Secretary, among other things, I have determined that it is necessary to increase the previously described steel and aluminum tariffs to adjust the imports of steel and aluminum articles and their derivative articles so that such imports will not threaten to impair the national security. In my judgment, the increased tariffs will more effectively counter foreign countries that continue to offload low-priced, excess steel and aluminum in the United States market and thereby undercut the competitiveness of the United States steel and aluminum industries. Although the previously imposed steel and aluminum tariffs have helped provide critical price support in the United States market, they have not yet enabled these industries to develop and maintain the rates of capacity production utilization that are necessary for the industries sustained health and for projected national defense needs. I have determined that increasing the previously imposed tariffs will provide greater support to these industries and reduce or eliminate the national security threat posed by imports of steel and aluminum articles and their derivative articles.
7. Accordingly, I have determined that it is necessary and appropriate to increase the tariff rate for imports of steel articles and derivative steel articles, and aluminum articles and derivative aluminum articles, from 25 percent ad valorem to 50 percent ad valorem effective as of 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on June 4, 2025. I have also determined that it is necessary and appropriate to modify the way in which the tariff measures described in Executive Order 14289 of April 29, 2025 (Addressing Certain Tariffs on Imported Articles), apply to steel articles and derivative steel articles, and aluminum articles and derivative aluminum articles, to ensure the effectiveness of the tariff changes described in this proclamation and the alignment of policy priorities between this proclamation and Executive Order 14289. I have further determined that it is necessary and appropriate to allow for the implementation of the U.S.-UK Economic Prosperity Deal of May 8, 2025 (EPD), and to accordingly provide different treatment, as described below, for imports of steel and aluminum articles, and their derivatives, from the United Kingdom.
8. Section 232 authorizes the President to adjust the imports of an article and its derivatives that are being imported into the United States in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security.
9. Section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), authorizes the President to embody in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) the substance of statutes affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder, including the removal, modification, continuance, or imposition of any rate of duty or other import restriction.
Now, Therefore, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 232; the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.); section 301 of title 3, United States Code; and section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, do hereby proclaim as follows:

(3) Any imports of articles set forth in Annex II to this proclamation that were admitted into a United States foreign trade zone under privileged foreign status as defined in 19 CFR 146.41 before 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on June 4, 2025, shall be subject upon entry for consumption made on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on June 4, 2025, to the provisions of the tariff in effect at the time of the entry for consumption.
(4) Any article set forth in Annex I to this proclamation, except those eligible for admission under domestic status as defined in 19 CFR 146.43, that is subject to a duty imposed by this proclamation and that is admitted into a United States foreign trade zone on or after June 4, 2025, may be admitted only under privileged foreign status as defined in 19 CFR 146.41, and will be subject upon entry for consumption to any ad valorem rates of duty related to the classification under the applicable HTSUS subheading.
(5) Effective as of 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on June 4, 2025, Executive Order 14289 is amended by revising section 3(a)(ii) to read as follows: (ii) An article subject to tariffs pursuant to the actions listed in section 2(d) or 2(e) of this order shall not be subject to additional tariffs on that article pursuant to the actions listed in section 2(b) or 2(c) of this order.

The additional ad valorem duties described in clause 1 and clause 7 of this proclamation shall apply only to the steel content of articles in Chapter 73 of the HTSUS and only to the aluminum content of articles in Chapter 76 of the HTSUS. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall issue authoritative guidance mandating strict compliance with declaration requirements for steel and aluminum content in imported articles and outlining maximum penalties for noncompliance, including that importers who submit underreported declarations may be subject to severe consequences, including but not limited to significant monetary penalties, loss of import privileges, and criminal liability, consistent with United States law.
(7) Notwithstanding clause 1 of this proclamation, the applicable rates of duty for articles of the United Kingdom that would otherwise be applicable pursuant to Proclamation 9704, as amended; Proclamation 9705, as amended; Proclamation 9980, as amended; Proclamation 10895; and Proclamation 10896 shall remain at 25 percent ad valorem. On or after July 9, 2025, the Secretary may adjust the applicable rates of duty and construct import quotas for steel and aluminum consistent with the terms of the EPD, or he may increase the applicable rates of duty to 50 percent if he determines that the United Kingdom has not complied with relevant aspects of the EPD.
(8) The Secretary shall continue to monitor imports of the articles and derivative articles described in Annexes I and II to this proclamation, and shall, from time to time, in consultation with any senior executive branch officials the Secretary deems appropriate, review the status of such imports with respect to the national security of the United States. The Secretary shall inform the President of any circumstances that, in the Secretarys opinion, might indicate the need for further action by the President under section 232. The Secretary shall also inform the President of any circumstances that, in the Secretarys opinion, might indicate that the duty rate provided for in this proclamation, or any proclamation issued pursuant thereto, is no longer necessary.
(9) No drawback shall be available with respect to the duties imposed pursuant to this proclamation.
(10) The Secretary may issue regulations and guidance consistent with this proclamation, including to address operational necessity.

(12) CBP may take any necessary or appropriate measures to administer the tariffs imposed by this proclamation.
(13) Any provision of previous proclamations and Executive Orders that is inconsistent with the actions taken in this proclamation is superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.
COUNTERING TRADE PRACTICES THAT UNDERMINE NATIONAL SECURITY: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a Proclamation to increase the tariff to 50% on steel and aluminum.
President Trump is taking action to protect Americas critical steel and aluminum industries, which have been harmed by unfair trade practices and global excess capacity.
President Trump is raising the tariff on steel and aluminum imports from 25% to 50%, with the higher tariff set to go into effect on June 4, 2025.
Tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from the United Kingdom will remain at 25%, with possible changes or quotas starting July 9, 2025, depending on the status of the U.S.-UK Economic Prosperity Deal.
The steel and aluminum tariffs will apply only to the steel and aluminum contents of imported products, whereas the non-steel and non-aluminum contents of imported products will be subject to other applicable tariffs.
President Trump is cracking down on false import declarations by requiring strict reporting of steel and aluminum content, with tough penalties like fines or loss of import rights for violators.
President Trump is exercising his authority under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 to adjust imports of steel and aluminum to protect our national security.
This statute provides the President with authority to adjust imports being brought into the United States in quantities or under circumstances that threaten to impair national security.
RESTORING FAIRNESS TO STEEL AND ALUMINUM MARKETS: President Trump is taking action to end unfair trade practices and the global dumping of steel and aluminum.
Foreign nations have been flooding the United States market with cheap steel and aluminum, often subsidized by their governments.
A report from the first Trump Administration found that steel import levels and global excess were weakening our domestic economy and threatening to impair national security.
The report found that excess production and capacity has been a major factor in the decline of domestic aluminum production.
While the domestic steel industry briefly achieved 80% capacity utilization in 2021, subsequent trade pressure has depressed domestic production. In 2022 and 2023, capacity utilization fell to 77.3% and 75.3%, respectively. High import volumes from sources exempt from Section 232 tariffs were a major factor in depressing domestic production volumes.
For aluminum, there was an increase in the capacity utilization rate between 2017 and 2019, from 40% to 61% during that period. But since 2019, the aluminum capacity utilization has once again seen a steady decline, falling from 61% to 55% between 2019 and 2023.
The United States does not want to be in a position where it would be unable to meet demand for national defense and critical infrastructure in a national emergency.
STRENGTHENING AMERICAS MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY: President Trumps decision to close existing loopholes and exemptions will strengthen United States steel and aluminum industries.
In his first term, President Trump imposed Section 232 tariffs to protect the American steel and aluminum industries from unfair foreign competition.
The steel tariffs that President Trump implemented led to thousands of jobs gained and higher wages in the metals industry.
These tariffs were hailed as a boon for Minnesotas iron ore industry, with state officials crediting tariffs for bolstering the local economy.
Steel and aluminum imports drastically decreased under President Trump, falling by nearly a third from 2016 to 2020.
The tariffs led to a wave in investment across the United States, with more than $10 billion committed to build new mills.
Earlier this year, President Trump restored and strengthened Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum, widely celebrated by the American steel and aluminum industries.
Now, President Trump is once again being praised by our steel and Aluminum industries for his decision to raise tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum even higher and protect American workers.
TARIFFS WORK: Studies have repeatedly shown that contrary to public rhetoric, tariffs can be an effective tool for achieving economic and strategic objectives.
A 2024 study on the effects of President Trumps tariffs in his first Administration found that they strengthened the U.S. economy, and led to significant reshoring in industries like manufacturing and steel production.
A 2023 report by the U.S. International Trade Commission that analyzed the effects of Section 232 and 301 tariffs on more than $300 billion of U.S. imports found that the tariffs reduced imports from China, effectively stimulated more U.S. production of the tariffed goods, with very minor effects on prices.
According to the Economic Policy Institute, the tariffs implemented by President Trump during his first Administration clearly show[ed] no correlation with inflation and only had a temporary effect on overall price levels.
An analysis from the Atlantic Council found that tariffs would create new incentives for US consumers to buy US-made products.
Former Biden Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen affirmed last year that tariffs do not raise prices: I dont believe that American consumers will see any meaningful increase in the prices that they face.
A 2024 economic analysis found that a global tariff of 10% would grow the economy by $728 billion, create 2.8 million jobs, and increase real household incomes by 5.7%.
We can expect much more "bad press" than he's already gotten; although 92% negative coverage will be hard to beat, I am sure the MSM will give it their best shot!
It seems the White House decided that they need to start producing their own articles on what the Trump/Vance Administration is doing/accomplishing as they enact the will of "We The People". The following are articles written by the White House explicating details of the One Big Beautiful Bill that is 92% unlikely to be covered by "fake news."
More articles from the White House promoting the One Big Beautiful Bill
In the June 1, 2025 White House articleSUNDAY SHOWS: President Trump is Supercharging the U.S. Economythey write:
This morning, Trump Administration officials took to the airwaves to describe how the One Big Beautiful Bill will be an economic boon for working Americans, the soaring nature of the Trump economy, and more.
Heres what you missed:
Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought on State of the Union
On lowering the deficit: This bill doesnt increase the deficit or hurt the debt. In fact, it LOWERS it by $1.4 trillion.
On protecting Medicaid: This bill will preserve and protect the programs, the social safety net, but it will make it much more common sense.
On cancer research funding: We actually want it to go to cancer research. We want it to go to the research that people think that they have been funding through their tax dollars We dont want it to go to waste, fraud, and abuse.
Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent on Face the Nation
On prices: We wanted to make sure that there arent price increases, Margaret and thus far, there have been no price increases. Everything has been alarmist. The inflation numbers are actually dropping. We saw the first drop in inflation in four years.
On inflation: When we were here in March, you said there was going to be big inflation. There hasnt been any inflation. Actually, the inflation numbers are the best in four years. So why dont we stop trying to say this COULD happen wait and see what DOES happen.
On the deficit: The deficit this year is going to be lower than the deficit last year and in two years, it will be lower again. We are going to bring the deficit down slowly. We didnt get here in one year.
Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick on Fox News Sunday
On tariffs: The $1.2 trillion trade deficit, and all the underlying implications of that, is a national emergency. Its gutting our manufacturing base Rest assured, tariffs are not going away Congress has given this authority to President Trump and hes going to use it.
National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett on This Week
On the deficit: If the bill doesnt pass, then were looking at the biggest tax hike in American history The idea that its worse for the deficit to do something that pays for itself if we get 3% growth is just not defensible.
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem on Sunday Morning Futures
On deportations: President Trump is doing exactly what he campaigned on and what the American people elected him to do and thats enforce the law. And so we are going to do mass deportations We are going out there and ensuring that people that repeatedly break our laws are being held accountable.
On international students at Harvard: These ties to China are deeply alarming If you come to this country to learn and youre a foreign student and you recognize the opportunity, thats fantastic but dont come here to spy on us and take that information back home to an enemy that is working to destroy us every day. And China has infiltrated this country. Its my job to protect the homeland and Ive been given that direction by President Trump. They will not participate in this foreign student program until they clean up their ways.
HOAX: People will literally die because of the One Big Beautiful Bill.
This is one of Democrats most disgusting lies because the One Big Beautiful Bill strengthens and protects the social safety net for every eligible American citizen who needs it.
FACT: Medicaid will be strengthened for the American citizens for whom the program was designed pregnant women, children, people with disabilities, low-income seniors, and other vulnerable low-income families. By removing at least 1.4 million illegal immigrants from the program, ending taxpayer-funded gender mutilation surgeries for minors, and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse, the One Big Beautiful Bill will ensure Medicaid better serves the American people.
FACT: 4.8 million able-bodied adults on Medicaid are choosing not to work and by implementing commonsense, Clinton-era work, volunteer, education, or training requirements, the One Big Beautiful Bill lifts them up to find a better quality of life through the dignity of work. Through work, job training, or part-time volunteering, this requirement will strengthen the system to better help those most in need of assistance. Work requirements are a bipartisan solution supported by Joe Biden.
FACT: Democrats have totally lost the plot opposing middle class tax cuts, an expanded child tax credit, border security, and more.
Theyre opposing the largest tax cut in history, which will put an extra $5,000 in their pockets with a double-digit percent decrease to their tax bills. In fact, Americans earning between $30,000 and $80,000 will pay around 15% less in taxes.
Theyre opposing NO TAX ON TIPS for the millions of Americans who work in the service industry and NO TAX ON OVERTIME for law enforcement, nurses, and more.
Theyre opposing historic tax cuts for senior citizens.
Here are 50 reasons why President Donald J. Trumps One Big Beautiful Bill is the best chance in a generation to pass critical reforms for which Americans voted:
It delivers the largest tax cut in American history. This means an extra $5,000 in Americans pockets with a DOUBLE-DIGIT percent DECREASE to their tax bills. Americans earning between $30,000 and $80,000 will pay around 15% less in taxes.
It makes the Trump Tax Cuts permanent, preventing the largest tax increase ever. If the bill doesnt pass, Americans will see the largest tax increase in history.
It raises Americans take-home pay by as much as $13,300 and wages by as much as $11,600.
It reverses the spending curse plaguing Washington, D.C. The bill delivers the largest deficit reduction in nearly 30 years, with $1.6 trillion in mandatory savings the largest single reduction in mandatory spending in our countrys history.
It delivers NO TAX ON TIPS and NO TAX ON OVERTIME. This makes good on two of President Trumps cornerstone campaign promises and will benefit hardworking Americans where they need it the most their paychecks.
It provides historic tax cuts for seniors.
It finishes President Trumps border wall. As a result, 701 miles of primary wall, 900 miles of river barriers, 629 miles of secondary barriers, and 141 miles of vehicle and pedestrian barriers will be constructed.
It boosts Border Patrol and ICE agents on the frontlines with the largest border security investment in history. This means funding to hire 10,000 new ICE personnel, 5,000 new customs officers, and 3,000 new Border Patrol agents to detain and deport at least one million illegal immigrants annually.
It increases the child tax credit to $2,500 per family.
It protects Medicaid for Americans who truly need it. This bill eliminates waste, fraud, and abuse by ending benefits for at least 1.4 million illegal immigrants who are gaming the system.
It implements popular work requirements for able-bodied Americans receiving taxpayer-funded benefits. Through commonsense, Clinton-era work, volunteer, education, or training requirements, the One Big Beautiful Bill lifts Americans up to find a better quality of life through the dignity of work.
It eliminates hundreds of billions of dollars in Green New Scam tax credits. The legislation immediately stops credits from flowing to China, saving taxpayers $500+ billion every year.
It reverses electric vehicle mandates that let radical climate activists set the standards for American energy.
It ends Bidens war on American energy. The bill finally unleashes American energy dominance by opening federal lands and waters to oil, gas, coal, geothermal, and mineral leasing.
It streamlines onerous permitting processes so America can get building again.
It refills the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to safeguard Americas energy security.
It repeals and rescinds every green corporate welfare subsidy in Democrats so-called Inflation Reduction Act.
It stops illegal immigrants from receiving tax credits and taxes remittances sent to foreign countries.
It supports small businesses by increasing the Section 199A deduction to 23% promoting the growth and success of Main Street.
It incentivizes MADE IN AMERICA. The bill rewards companies that build their products in America with lower taxes and allows Americans who buy an American-made vehicle to fully deduct their auto loan interest.
It creates new Trump Savings Accounts for newborns allowing children across America to experience the miracle of compounded growth.
It expands access to childcare for hardworking American families.
It provides a historic increase in funding for the U.S. Coast Guard. This will help block illegal drugs and migrants from entering our country, protect our sovereignty in the Arctic, and promote our national security.
It supports building new factories to grow domestic business operations. The bill renews 100% immediate expensing and interest deductions, increases the small business deduction, and establishes 100% immediate expensing for equipment and machinery.
It helps American farmers, producers, and ranchers compete and sell products in foreign markets. The bill makes sure American farmers arent crowded out by foreign imports in liquid fuel production markets.
It holds woke, elitist universities accountable by increasing the endowment tax on large universities.
It protects hardworking taxpayers by canceling Bidens illegal and unfair student loan bailouts.
It ends taxpayer-funded sex changes. It reverses the Biden-era mandate that Medicaid cover so-called gender transition procedures ending the taxpayer-funded chemical castration and mutilation of American children.
Its a once-in-a-generation chance to revolutionize our nations defense capabilities and protect the homeland against new threats by funding President Trumps Golden Dome.
It enhances the capacity of Americas naval fleet. The bill provides billions of dollars to revitalize Americas shipbuilding and maritime industrial base.
It modernizes air traffic control fulfilling President Trumps plan to completely overhaul the systems that keep Americans flying safely and efficiently.
It strengthens SNAP benefits. The legislation requires states to contribute a greater portion of the cost of administering benefits, thereby controlling costs, and closes the excessively broad loopholes for work requirements.
It implements critical program integrity and cost containment provisions in Medicaid to strengthen it for future generations. These include removing deceased individuals from the program and limiting retroactive coverage from three months to one month prior to enrollment.
It safeguards Second Amendment rights by removing tax and registration requirements for firearm silencers and eliminating silencers from the National Firearms Act.
It provides critical disaster recovery funding to farmers, producers, and ranchers.
It provides funding to rebuild Americas military including $9+ billion to improve quality of life for our servicemembers, $20+ billion to bolster U.S. munitions production, and $12+ billion to modernize our nuclear arsenal.
It expands health savings accounts to give Americans greater choice and flexibility in how they spend their money.
It gives $10,000 bonuses annually over the next four years to Border Patrol and ICE agents on the frontlines.
It incentivizes scholarships that empower American families and students to choose the education that best fits their needs.
It repeals Democrats insane attack on the gig economy ending the requirement that Venmo, PayPal, and other gig transactions over $600 be reported to the IRS.
It reforms and streamlines the federal student loan program to drive down tuition costs and simplify repayment plans. This includes reasonable limits on amounts students can borrow.
It strengthens accountability for students and taxpayers on federal student loans. The bill imposes skin in the game requirements to hold universities financially accountable to the government on defaulted federal student loans.
It implements critical reforms to Pell Grants to make sure they prioritize students who truly need financial assistance while promoting completion. The legislation allows grants to be used for short-term, high-quality workforce training programs to support Americans who want to learn a trade instead of the traditional four-year colleges.
It increases timber sales on federal lands. This means an increase in timber production and improvement to forest management improving the resilience of timber and saving billions on future wildfire suppression costs.
It authorizes the sale of expanded spectrum MHz to strengthen rural broadband and secure Americas technological dominance in AI and other emerging technologies.
It creates permanent fees that illegal immigrants must pay for their applications so American taxpayers arent saddled with covering these costs. These fees will bring in over $77 billion to cover adjudication costs and fund immigration processes and enforcement actions.
It protects family farmers. The bill prevents the greedy death tax from hitting two million family-owned farms who would otherwise see their exemptions cut in half and cuts taxes on farmers by over $10 billion.
It ends abusive financing practices in Medicaid by freezing existing provider taxes and prohibiting new provider taxes. This ensures states cannot improperly increase the federal governments cost-share of a state Medicaid program at the expense of taxpayers.
It reins in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. This brainchild of Sen. Elizabeth Warren has long functioned as another woke, weaponized arm of the bureaucracy with minimal accountability or oversight that leverages its power against certain industries and individuals disfavored by the so-called elites.
It rolls back harmful Biden-era regulations that increase cost and administrative burdens with limited flexibility for states. These burdensome regulations, such as federal staffing mandates at nursing homes, lead to closures, reduced access to care, and increased costs, particularly in areas already overwhelmed by labor shortages.
I am waiting to see what the Senate Committees change from the House version. Remember the process involved each chamber to review & revise bills separately. Then, go through a 'reconciliation' process. House did it's thing. Now it's the Senate's turn. So, I will wait before making a judgement.
