John Thune: 作为共和党人，我一直致力于推动这项法案的通过，因为它将为辛勤工作的美国人永久减税，刺激经济增长，创造更多就业机会，并加强国家安全。我相信这项法案将为美国带来繁荣。 Chuck Schumer: 我认为共和党同僚们将会为今天的投票后悔很多年，因为美国人民会看到这项法案带来的损害，包括医院倒闭、失业率上升、医疗成本增加以及国家债务的增加。我们将确保美国人民永远记住这次背叛。 Reema Rahman: 目前这项法案正在众议院进行程序性步骤，但是由于一些共和党议员的反对，这项法案的通过面临着很大的不确定性。民主党目前保持统一战线，但是共和党内部存在分歧，他们对医疗补助、乡村医院资金以及国家债务等问题存在担忧。因此，这项法案的最终命运仍然难以预测。 Clive Crook: 我认为美国的债务问题非常严重，特别是如果这项法案得以通过，将会使情况变得更糟。虽然美国目前拥有相对较高的借贷能力，但是如果债务持续增加，金融市场最终将会失去信心，导致美国面临严重的经济问题。因此，我们需要认真对待债务问题，并采取措施加以控制。

After hours of stalemate, Republicans in the US Senate have narrowly passed Donald Trump’s mega-bill on tax and spending, meaning the proposed legislation has cleared one of its key hurdles.

Also, US President Donald Trump has suggested that Doge, the cost-cutting agency Elon Musk helped set up, could be used to hurt the billionaire's companies – as the former allies continue their public dispute over Trump's budget plans.

And it's 25 years since one of the world's first and longest transnational bridges was opened in northern Europe – the Öresund Bridge – but it is facing new challenges.
