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–

Construction of a transport interchange at the intersection of the third launch complex of the Central Ring Road and Dmitrovskoe Highway

In the Moscow Region, the implementation of the infrastructure project for the construction of a transport interchange at the intersection of the third launch complex of the Central Ring Road and Dmitrovskoye Highway continues. At present, the construction of layers of road pavement has begun at the site, and the excavation work here has been completed by 50% of the planned volume. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"The construction of new roads is inextricably linked with the modernization of the existing network, including the creation of modern interchanges. This ensures smooth integration of traffic flows, reduces the load on key nodes, minimizes congestion and improves traffic safety. An integrated approach to the development of road infrastructure allows us to avoid imbalances in the transport system and use each new facility as efficiently as possible. In the Moscow Region, we are implementing a project to build a transport interchange at the intersection of the Central Ring Road with Dmitrovskoye Highway. Currently, specialists are carrying out excavation work, 50% of which has already been completed. In parallel, the site has begun to install structural layers of the asphalt concrete road surface. In addition, the foundations and supports of all three future overpasses have been built and their superstructures have been partially installed," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that transition plates and expansion joints are currently being installed on artificial structures.

A complex of works is expected ahead, including the installation of asphalt concrete pavement layers, drainage structures and strengthening works. In addition, it is necessary to install metal span structures over the current section of the Central Ring Road with intensive traffic. A large volume of work on the installation of road safety elements is also envisaged.

According to the Chairman of the Board of the state company Avtodor, Vyacheslav Petushenko, the project also includes the construction of four exits and the reconstruction of the A-107 Moscow Small Ring road.

"As part of the reconstruction, a set of works will be carried out to change the longitudinal profile and geometric parameters of the road. This will improve its transport and operational characteristics. It is planned to replace all culverts to protect the roadway from water, preserve natural watercourses, and prevent flooding. It is also planned to install outdoor electric lighting lines for comfortable travel at night and in poor visibility. To improve road safety, a metal barrier fence will be installed. The total length of the reconstructed section is about 2.3 km. In general, the new interchange will improve the accessibility of adjacent areas, redistribute traffic flows from the A-107 "MMK" highway to the Central Ring Road and significantly improve the conditions for transit traffic bypassing Moscow," said Vyacheslav Petushenko.

About 230 people and 85 units of road construction equipment are involved in the construction of the interchange. The launch of vehicle traffic on the new facility is planned for 2026.

Working meeting of Dmitry Chernyshenko with the Governor of Krasnoyarsk Krai Mikhail Kotyukov

Dmitry Chernyshenko noted the dynamic development of the scientific potential of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the active work of Mikhail Kotyukov as the head of the State Council commission in the direction of "Technological Leadership":

"President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has instructed to increase spending on research and development to 2% of GDP by 2030. Krasnoyarsk Krai is actively involved in solving this problem. The region is dynamically increasing its scientific potential, attracting young scientists to science and implementing projects of the Russian Science Foundation."

He also noted that the region pays great attention to the creation of educational infrastructure:

"Over the past few years, more than 20,000 new places have been created in schools and kindergartens in Krasnoyarsk Krai. Within the framework of the federal project "Professionalism", 6 clusters in key sectors of the economy have been created in the region. Krasnoyarsk Krai is among the top three leaders in terms of the volume of their co-financing. The region also successfully trains engineering personnel: more than 40% of students at regional universities master in-demand specialties. Siberian Federal University participates in the "Priority-2030" program. Work is underway to create an advanced engineering school," the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

Mikhail Kotyukov reported that, given the national goal of technical leadership, the region motivates schoolchildren to study engineering and natural sciences. In secondary vocational and higher education institutions, a base is being created for training personnel in demand in industrial and high-tech sectors of the economy.

"The "Professionality" project gave us unique experience. We formed six clusters in key sectors of the economy. And last year, following meetings with young guys studying at the college, with our entrepreneurs, we made a decision and created the regional project "Professionality for All". Since this year, absolutely all regional institutions of secondary vocational education have joined the work on this model. The first programs that we implemented showed mutual interest of everyone: guys, parents, and employers. And we agreed with enterprises on investments in infrastructure in the ruble for ruble mode. And most importantly, practicing specialists come to teach at the technical school. This caused a 100% response. Today, even medium and small enterprises are trying to place their best equipment in classrooms," the head of the region noted.

The parties discussed the region's youth policy. Krasnoyarsk Krai regularly wins the "Region for the Young" competition, which allows for the modernization of youth centers. Last year, Vladimir Putin opened a year-round youth educational center in the "Sports and Health" direction, and almost 200 thousand children are involved in the volunteer movement.

Mikhail Kotyukov recalled that the All-Russian educational forum TIM "Biryusa" is currently holding a shift on financial education, the participants of which – young people from all over the country – share their experiences and develop projects in the financial sphere.

"We try to maintain the set high level, offering new initiatives. We modernized the territory of the initiative youth "Biryusa", which worked for 20 years in the mode of a tent camp. We have created a large number of facilities for the comprehensive development of children and youth. We pay special attention to this area, realizing that soon the guys will begin to work in the region, shaping its appearance," the governor emphasized.

Dmitry Chernyshenko noted the potential of the subject for tourism development. According to forecasts, the tourist flow in Krasnoyarsk Krai will grow by almost 13% this year. The region is actively involved in the implementation of the national project "Tourism and Hospitality". The allocated funds are used to create infrastructure and increase the tourist attractiveness of the region.

Krasnoyarsk Krai also demonstrates good results in the sports industry. According to the results of 2024, the indicator of those involved in sports exceeded the planned level, reaching 57%.
