NEW YORK, July 5 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump signed the historic tax and spending bill, also known as the "one, big, beautiful bill," on Friday afternoon.

The bill was signed at the White House the day after it passed the House. Trump set a July 4 deadline to pass the bill, in order to make the signing part of the Independence Day festivities that also included a B-2 bomber flyby.

The law reflects Trump's policy of cutting taxes and increasing spending on military needs and border security.

Speaking before the signing ceremony, Trump thanked Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson for their work in holding a conference to pass the bill. “These two are a team like no other,” he said.

House members are divided on the bill, which would slash spending on health care and food programs for the poor and increase spending on the military and border security while cutting taxes on a broad range of incomes. The bill is projected to add $3.3 trillion to the already large national debt.

The bill passed the House by a narrow margin of 218 to 214, with all Democrats and two Republicans, Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, voting against it.

After the House passed the bill, White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt called it "the embodiment of everything the president fought for and the American people voted for," noting that it was "a triumphant day for the American people."

The White House, in a press release Thursday, called the bill's passage the president's biggest legislative victory, adding that "time and time again, President Trump and Republicans have fought and won for the American people." -0-

PARIS, July 5 (Xinhua) — War is not a solution to the Iranian nuclear issue, and preemptive strikes obviously have no legitimacy, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said on Friday, stressing that force will not bring true peace.

He made the statement here at a joint press conference with his French counterpart Jean-Noël Barrot.

Asked about the situation in the Middle East, Wang Yi said the recent military conflict between Israel and Iran should not be repeated. He stressed that the abuse of military force will only lead to new conflicts and the accumulation of more hatred. The United States has set a bad precedent by openly attacking the nuclear facilities of a sovereign state, the Chinese diplomat added.

He warned that if such actions lead to a nuclear catastrophe, the entire world would suffer the consequences. –0–

CHENGDU, July 6 (Xinhua) — Four people were missing after mudslides hit southwest China's Sichuan Province on Friday, local authorities said Saturday.

The geological disaster prevention and control headquarters of Danba County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, said the earthquake hit two villages in the county at around 5:50 p.m. on Friday, after the entire county had been battered by heavy rain since Wednesday.

The water that accumulated in the mountains first led to a flood, and then to mudflows that damaged houses, flooded agricultural land, cut off telecommunications and power supplies, blocking some roads.

County authorities immediately launched emergency response modes for geological disasters and floods.

Rescuers continue searching for missing persons. -0-
