Biden’s big-spending infrastructure bill gains momentum

Published

on

US President Joe Biden has struck a deal to move forward with a bipartisan infrastructure bill. Now, the Problem Solvers Caucus has announced it will also back the framework

The Caucus says it “strongly supports” the Senate infrastructure bill. The package is also closely aligned with last month’s ‘Building Bridges’ proposal.

The group of 58 lawmakers has equal numbers of Democratic and Republican leaders.

Their support follows a challenging few months for the Biden Administration in getting this package off the ground.

Biden’s bipartisan proposal for an infrastructure bill includes $579 billion in funding over the next five years and a total of $1.2 trillion over the next eight years. 

It will draw on funds acquired from the strengthening of tax laws and leftover money from the coronavirus relief package. 

Big-spending from the White House

Meanwhile, as democratic lawmakers push to pass a bill through the budget reconciliation process in July, the White House says they’re on track.

President Joe Biden has also addressed the media, applauding his country’s efforts in moving towards economic growth in a post-covid world.

Trump declares new trade deal with China “done,” featuring rare earth material supply and China retaining student visas, pending Xi’s approval.


President Donald Trump says a new trade deal with China is “done,” following intense negotiations in London.

The agreement includes China’s pledge to supply critical rare earth materials to U.S. companies, while the U.S. will drop plans to revoke Chinese student visas.

The deal still awaits final approval from President Xi Jinping, but it could mark a turning point after months of tariff tensions.
