    Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday addressed the Joint Assembly of the Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago during his official visit to the Caribbean nation, becoming the first Indian Prime Minister to do so from the iconic Red House in Port of Spain.

    PM Modi extended greetings from Ghana, which he visited before arriving in Trinidad and Tobago. “I also bring warm wishes from the people of Ghana, the country I visited just before arriving here. I am humbled to be the first Indian Prime Minister to speak to you in this iconic Red House,” he said.

    During his address, PM Modi said, “Your Excellency Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, Honourable President of this Senate Wade Mark, Honourable Speaker Jagdeo Singh, Honourable Speakers, distinguished Members of Parliament — Namaskar. Good morning. I am deeply honoured to stand before you, the elected representatives of a proud democracy and a friendly nation.”

    He reiterated, “I am deeply honoured to stand before you, the elected representatives of a proud democracy and a friendly nation.”

    The Prime Minister then highlighted the historical importance of the venue, saying, “This historic red building has witnessed the struggles and sacrifices of the people of Trinidad and Tobago for freedom and dignity.”

    Drawing on shared democratic values, PM Modi noted, “The people of this great nation have chosen two remarkable women leaders — the President and the Prime Minister. They proudly call themselves daughters of the Indian diaspora. They take pride in their Indian heritage… Both of our nations rose from the shadows of colonial rule to write our own stories with courage as our ink and democracy as our pen…”

    Underscoring the cultural and political bonds between the two countries, the PM further remarked, “For us Indians, democracy is not just a political model but a way of life. We have a rich heritage spanning thousands of years. Many of the parliamentarians here have ancestors from Bihar, which was home to the Mahajanapadas — ancient republics…”

    The long-awaited Oasis gigs anchor a summer full of major live music events in Manchester’s parks, public spaces and other venues – all the way through to the end of August.

    An incredible 1.3 million music tourists are expected to visit the city during this time for unmissable performances from some of the biggest artists on the planet.

    To help celebrate this sensational summer of sound, MCR Live ’25 will see music-themed markets, pop-up shops, a festival bar and impromptu performances, as well as fabulous guitar-themed artworks and exhibitions take over the city’s streets, squares, shop windows and other venues.

    Councillor Garry Bridges, Deputy Leader Manchester City Council, said: “Manchester is already known the world over for our music and our fantastic music scene that draws people to the city from every corner of the globe.  

    “With 1.3m music tourists expected in Manchester this summer along with the historic homecoming Oasis dates in Heaton Park coming up next week, the economic impact on the city will be significant – with bars, clubs, restaurants, shops and hotels all set to benefit.

    “We want everyone – Mancunians and visitors alike – to be able to enjoy this mammoth summer of live music so we’re going all out to celebrate the massive contribution that music makes to the city with a fantastic programme of music themed events and activities across the city for everyone to get involved in all summer long.”

    Jul 4, 2025 IPAA Celebrates Win for American Energy with One Big Beautiful Bill

    Posted at 13:08h in Press Releases by

    WASHINGTON – Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) President & CEO Jeff Eshelman issued the following statement ahead of President Trump signing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act:

    “Today, on America’s birthday, IPAA congratulates President Trump and Congress on the success of the One Big Beautiful Bill.

    “In IPAA’s transition memo to the administration, we urged President Trump to take positive actions to support America’s small oil and natural gas producers and develop a robust energy policy that will unleash American entrepreneurs, expand our economy, and make the United States an energy superpower once again. This budget reconciliation bill does just that – making significant strides to Make American Energy Great Again.

    “IPAA is pleased that the legislation reinstates oil and natural gas lease sales for onshore and offshore federal lands and makes common sense reforms to the permitting and leasing process on federal lands. IPAA members, the small businesses of the oil patch, are grateful that industry tax treatments including intangible drilling costs and percentage depletion were protected, along with carried interest deductions being preserved.

    “While we are disappointed that the legislation does not include a full repeal of the Methane Emissions Reduction Program (MERP) including the methane tax, as we have consistently argued for and will continue to, the 10-year delay of the MERP provides time to for legislators to work with regulators and industry to craft an alternate pathway that makes sense for smaller producers.

    “America’s independent oil and natural gas producers play a critical role in our country’s domestic energy development, and we look forward to continued collaboration with the administration and Congress to find innovative solutions to address America’s energy challenges.”

    IPAA worked closely with national groups including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and National Association of Manufacturers to advocate in support of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, including the permanent extension of tax reforms in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). IPAA CEO Eshelman is a member of the US Chamber of Commerce’s “Committee of 100” and the National Association of Manufacturers’ “Council of Manufacturing Associations.”

  • MIL-OSI Canada: New funding expands RCMP hate crimes unit

    Source: Government of Canada regional news

    The Province is stepping up its fight against hate-motivated offences by increasing the staffing capacity of the B.C. hate crimes unit, led by the B.C. RCMP.

    “Any form of hate, whether it be through criminal acts or racist language, has no place in British Columbia,” said Garry Begg, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General. “In response to rising acts of hate in our communities, our government is ensuring the B.C. hate crimes unit has the resources needed to investigate these crimes to the fullest extent possible to hold perpetrators to account.”

    The Province is investing more than $734,000 to support the B.C. hate crimes unit by adding five additional RCMP officers and one intelligence analyst, increasing the unit’s capacity from two officers to a team of eight. The funding is part of the Province’s $230-million investment into the provincial police service.

    In British Columbia, police reported hate crimes rose by 23% from 2022 to 2023. Specifically, hate crimes motivated by race or ethnicity increased by 12%, those linked to religion surged by more than 50% and incidents related to sexual orientation jumped by 43%.

    “Expanding this team will make a positive impact right across the province, strengthening the ability to address hate-related crimes, while also leading proactive initiatives that make our communities stronger,” said Chief Supt. Elija Rain, officer in charge of the B.C. RCMP major crime section. “A larger diverse team helps us meet demands from our diverse communities and build on important partnerships with law enforcement, community groups and faith-based organizations.”

    The funding will strengthen investigations throughout the criminal-justice process by ensuring police are equipped with the necessary information and required evidence for prosecutors to conduct thorough charge assessments. It will also support court processes through expert testimony and help support witnesses and victims of hate-motivated crimes.

    Hate crimes are criminal acts driven by extreme bias or hatred toward a person based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other similar factor. The B.C. hate crimes unit plays a critical role in addressing these offences and works with communities to promote prevention and raise public awareness to help people understand and report a hate crime.

    “When people are targeted because of who they are, they deserve to know that law enforcement is in their corner and that those responsible will be thoroughly investigated and held accountable,” said Niki Sharma, Attorney General. “This expanded support reflects our government’s commitment to standing up to hate and protecting people’s rights. It’s an investment in a safer, more inclusive B.C., where everyone can live with dignity and without fear.”

    Public Safety Canada (PSC) is providing $4 million to the B.C. government through the Shift B.C. program, which focuses on preventing radicalized violence by offering support to individuals at risk. Funding is supporting eight police agencies and two non-profit agencies to build capacity and enhance operations to address public-order challenges, improve hate-crime reporting, bolster the safety and security of places of worship, and respond to threats that are motivated by extremism against elected public officials.

    Quotes:

    Jessie Sunner, parliamentary secretary for anti-racism initiatives –

    “Everyone deserves to feel safe in their community, no matter who they are, where they come from or how they worship. This investment sends a clear message that hate will not be tolerated. While enforcement is critical, we’re also continuing to advance anti-racism initiatives that build understanding, strengthen communities and create lasting change.”

    Spencer Chandra Herbert, MLA for Vancouver-West End –

    “British Columbia is home to people from all walks of life, cultures and backgrounds. This diversity is our greatest strength, it enriches our communities, drives innovation and makes B.C. a place of opportunity for everyone. By expanding the hate crimes unit, led by the B.C. RCMP, our government is reaffirming its commitment to combating hate and strengthening the inclusivity that defines our province.”

    Sunita Dhir, MLA for Vancouver-Langara –

    “One hate crime is one too many. The addition of five officers and one analyst to the B.C. hate crimes unit, led by the B.C. RCMP, is a necessary step forward to building strong and inclusive communities. By strengthening our response and prevention efforts, we are not only standing up to hate, but we are also standing with communities, building trust and working together to ensure that everyone feels safe and protected.”

    Ana Maria Bustamante, manager of strategic initiatives, community engagement and development, Burnaby Together –

    “Hate incidents are hurtful for anyone and should not be tolerated. It is important to learn about the values of respect, compassion and support of different faiths and communities in Canada. However, it is also important that the RCMP have the resources to support communities affected by hate. We need to work together to stop hate incidents. We are all humans, no matter our skin colour, faith or gender identity.”

    Quick Facts:

    • British Columbia is the only province that has a dedicated provincial hate-crimes unit.
    • In May 2024, B.C. launched a toll-free, racist-incident helpline to connect people with culturally appropriate supports and help them recover from acts of racism: 1 833 457-5463 (1 833 HLP-LINE).
    • The Anti-Racism Act, passed in 2024, targets systemic racism in government programs and services, building on the Anti-Racism Data Act and public engagement to drive long-term change.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: VAALCO Energy Scales Up African Operations, Joins African Energy Week (AEW) 2025 as Platinum Partner

    Source: APO – Report:

    U.S. oil and gas company VAALCO Energy has begun refurbishing its FPSO facility at the Baobab field in Block CI-40, offshore Ivory Coast. The modernization is set to increase production beyond the current 2,891 barrels of oil equivalent per day and extend the field’s economic life. A new drilling campaign is planned for 2026 to further develop both the Baobab field and the nearby Kossipo discovery. In addition, VAALCO farmed into Block CI-705 as operator in March 2025, reinforcing its long-term commitment to Ivory Coast’s energy sector.

    In line with the African Energy Week: Invest in African Energies agenda – which centers on maximizing resource development to end energy poverty and drive industrial growth – VAALCO Energy is participating in the 2025 edition as a Platinum Partner. Held under the theme, Invest in African Energy: Positioning Africa as the Global Energy Champion, this year’s event will spotlight the contributions of companies like VAALCO in unlocking the continent’s estimated 125 billion barrels of crude oil and 620 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. With over 600 million people in Africa lacking access to reliable electricity and 900 million without clean cooking solutions, Africa’s hydrocarbon resources remain critical to closing the energy access gap.

    Recognizing this, VAALCO is expanding its investments and footprint across key African markets. In Gabon, the company operates the Etame Marin block with a 58.8% working interest and is preparing to launch a new drilling campaign in Q3 2025. To support its efforts in both Gabon and Ivory Coast, VAALCO secured a $300 million revolving credit facility from Standard Bank of South Africa in March 2025.

    In Egypt, VAALCO brought five new wells online in 2025, boosting daily output and enhancing regional energy stability. The company also identified new reserves and a production zone during a Q4 2024 exploration campaign. Its Egyptian portfolio spans the Eastern Desert – including the West Gharib, West Bakr and North West Gharib concessions – as well as the South Ghazalat concession in the Western Desert.

    Meanwhile, in Equatorial Guinea, VAALCO is progressing toward FID for the Venus field development in Block P, with front-end engineering and design currently underway. Drilling is set to commence following FID, with first oil targeted for 2026. As the company scales up its operations across the continent, AEW: Invest in African Energies offers a strategic platform for VAALCO to engage with partners, investors, buyers and regulators and to solidify its role in advancing Africa’s industrialization.

    “VAALCO Energy’s growing footprint across Africa speaks to the vast opportunities available on the continent. Their commitment to investing in infrastructure, boosting production and supporting local economies aligns perfectly with our mission to position Africa as a global energy frontier,” states Tomás Gerbasio, VP of Commercial and Strategic Engagement, African Energy Chamber.

    AEW: Invest in African Energies is the platform of choice for project operators, financiers, technology providers and government, and has emerged as the official place to sign deals in African energy. Visit www.AECWeek.com for more information about this exciting event.

    Smart Ways to Use a No Deposit Bonus

    No deposit bonuses are one of the easiest ways to start playing online casino games in Canada. They let you try real money games without using your own money. This is great for new players who are still learning or for anyone who wants to test a casino before making a deposit.
    In 2025, Spin Casino is the best online casino in Canada that offers a real, verified no deposit bonus. This makes it easier for players to get started with no pressure and no risk.
    Here are some simple tips and strategies to make the most out of your no deposit bonus:
    Start with simple slot games
    Most no deposit bonuses work with slot machines. It is a good idea to start with games that are easy to play. Look for games that have a high payout rate. These games usually pay out more often, even if the prize is small. That gives you more chances to keep playing and learn how everything works.
    Use all of your spins
    Some casinos give you a certain number of free spins. Do not rush through them. Take your time and enjoy each spin. Try to play slowly and notice how the game works. You can also check how much each spin is worth, so you get the best value.
    Pay attention to the rules
    Each bonus comes with some conditions. These are called “wagering requirements.” This means you have to play the bonus money a certain number of times before you can take out your winnings. For example, if the wagering rule is 70 times, and you win 10 dollars, you must play 700 dollars worth of bets before you can withdraw the money. It sounds like a lot, but it helps keep the bonus system fair for everyone.
    Check the time limit
    Most no deposit bonuses do not last forever. Some expire in 3 days, some in 7 days. Always check how long you have before the bonus ends. Try to use it as soon as possible so you don’t miss the chance.
    Try different games
    If your bonus allows, you can try different kinds of games. This could be video slots, table games like blackjack, or even live casino games. Trying different games is a smart way to find out what you like best. Some people enjoy the fast pace of slots, while others like the skill and strategy of blackjack or poker.
    Do not expect to win big
    No deposit bonuses are small. They are made to give you a chance to try the best online casino. If you win something, that’s great. But it is better to treat it like a free sample. If you like how the site works, you can choose to deposit later and unlock bigger bonuses.
    Use it as a learning tool
    This kind of bonus is also a great way to learn. You can get used to the website, try the support service, and see how fast the games load. You can also test how easy it is to find games, understand how to cash out, and check if you like the design. All of this helps you feel more confident before using your own money.
    Why it matters in Canada
    In Canada, only a few of trusted online casinos offer real no deposit bonuses. Spin Casino is one of them. It gives players a simple way to try real money games without taking a risk. That’s why many people say Spin is the best online casino in Canada if you want to start safe and see what the casino has to offer before you deposit.
    No deposit bonuses are not just for fun. They help you learn, test, and decide what kind of player you want to be. And they make it easy for new players in Canada to begin their online casino journey with confidence.

    Top High-RTP Games at Real Money Online Casinos in Canada

    Players searching for the best online casino in Canada often overlook one essential factor: the Return to Player (RTP) percentage of the games themselves. While promotional offers and platform reputation are crucial, RTP plays a significant role in maximizing real money outcomes over time. This section looks at high-RTP games available at Spin Casino, highlighting titles that are popular among Canadian players for their strong payout potential.
    High-Payout Slot Games Worth Playing
    Blood Suckers, a NetEnt slot with an impressive RTP of around 98% available at Spin Casino, is a smart choice for bonus hunters seeking maximum returns during wagering. Thanks to its low volatility and high RTP, it’s often considered one of the best online slots for players clearing bonus conditions.
    Other top-performing slots found at Spin Casino include titles with RTPs above 97%, offering steady returns for real money players. Games like Thunderstruck II and Immortal Romance, both available at Spin Casino, offer rich features and payout consistency, making them popular during bonus play. These titles combine exciting visuals with reliable performance, helping players meet wagering terms while enjoying the experience.

    Table Games with the Highest Win Potential

    While slots are the focus of many bonuses, table games such as Blackjack and Baccarat still dominate in terms of RTP. With house edges under 1 percent, these games offer effective long-term value. They are especially useful for players transitioning out of bonus play and focusing on real-money strategy. All three featured online casinos versions of these games in both virtual and live dealer formats.

    Final Tip for Bonus Efficiency

    If you’re aiming to convert bonus funds into real, withdrawable cash, it’s essential to choose games that contribute 100 percent toward wagering while offering high RTP. Stick with trusted titles, avoid low-contribution games during active bonuses, and plan deposits accordingly. At over 96 percent RTP, the games listed above are reliable picks for Canadian players in 2025 looking for low-risk play on top-tier platforms.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: “The Spirit of China – Central Asia” has its roots in the distant past and corresponds to the trend of the current reality – the Ambassador of China to Kyrgyzstan

    Bishkek, July 4 /Xinhua/ — “The spirit of China – Central Asia” has its roots in the distant past and corresponds to the trend of the current reality. This is stated in the author’s article by the Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to Kyrgyzstan Liu Jiangping, published recently in the newspaper “Slovo Kyrgyzstana”.

    In June, the second China-Central Asia summit was held in Astana, Kazakhstan. In her article entitled “Promoting the China-Central Asia Spirit, Building a Common Home of Good-Neighborliness, Friendship, Development and Prosperity,” Liu Jiangping recalled that the summit was held in a Central Asian country for the first time, which is of great importance for the further development of the China-Central Asia format.

    “Following the summit, the heads of six states signed the Astana Declaration, which recorded the ‘Spirit of China – Central Asia’. More than one hundred agreements were reached, which gave a powerful impetus to the creation of a closer community of shared destiny between China and Central Asia,” she noted.

    “The China-Central Asia Spirit” is characterized by mutual respect, mutual trust, mutual benefit, mutual assistance and the promotion of joint modernization through high-quality development. “The highlight of the summit is the confirmation of the “China-Central Asia Spirit”, which has its roots in the distant past and is in line with the trend of the current reality,” the diplomat said in her article.

    She stressed that more than two thousand years ago, the envoy of the Han Dynasty Zhang Qian went to the Western Region, laid the foundation for friendly relations between China and Central Asia. For more than 30 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, China and the Central Asian countries have maintained solidarity and mutual trust, firmly supporting each other in protecting independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and national dignity.

    “This spirit demonstrates the unanimity of the six countries in pursuing unity and common development, which serves as a guiding principle for maintaining the centuries-old friendship and cooperation between our countries,” Liu Jiangping said.

    The most important outcome of the summit was the signing of the Treaty on Eternal Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation. “For the first time in the history of Chinese diplomacy, the principle of eternal friendship with an entire adjacent region was enshrined in a treaty,” she noted, emphasizing that China and the Central Asian countries are good neighbors, good friends, reliable partners and brothers. China always considers Central Asia as one of its foreign policy priorities and develops relations with Central Asian partners on the principles of equality and sincerity.

    The diplomat named the announcement of 2025-2026 as the Years of High-Quality Development of China-Central Asia Cooperation as the most pressing topic of the summit. In recent years, China-Central Asia cooperation has demonstrated high results. China is the most important trading partner and investor in the Central Asian countries.

    In the more than two years since the Xi’an summit, cooperation between China and Central Asian countries within the Belt and Road Initiative has continued to deepen. Construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway has begun, and cooperation on the China-Europe express railway and the Trans-Caspian International Transport Corridor is advancing at an accelerated pace, the ambassador said, adding that trade turnover between China and Central Asian countries in 2024 reached a record high of $94.8 billion, an increase of 35 percent.

    The Ambassador also noted that China is ready to develop high-quality cooperation with the Central Asian countries in such areas as uninterrupted trade, industry and investment, transport connectivity, green subsoil use, modern agriculture and mutual travel of citizens.

    Touching upon Chinese-Kyrgyz cooperation, Liu Jiangping noted that it is an important component of the entire complex of interactions between China and the Central Asian countries. Today, Chinese-Kyrgyz relations have entered a golden period of their development and have significant potential for further deepening. The meeting of the leaders of the two countries on the sidelines of the summit outlined a new plan for the development of Chinese-Kyrgyz relations.

    China expressed its readiness to work together with the Central Asian countries, including Kyrgyzstan, to implement the agreements reached by the heads of state. Particular emphasis was placed on the need to promote the “China-Central Asia Spirit”, intensify cooperation through a more pragmatic approach and specific measures, as well as promote high-quality construction of the “Belt and Road” initiative in order to achieve new results in creating a community of shared destiny for China and Central Asia, the ambassador concluded. –0–

    DAMASCUS, July 4 (Xinhua) — An unspecified fire broke out on Friday afternoon in the bushes near the Qasr al-Shaab presidential palace located on a mountaintop overlooking the capital Damascus, filling much of the area with thick black smoke, local media and eyewitnesses reported.

    According to the Syrian state television channel Al-Ikhbariya, the fire broke out in the kitchen in one of the residence’s gardens, and not inside the building.

    The report said that civil defense forces are currently trying to contain the fire.

    A nearby Xinhua reporter said he saw huge plumes of smoke filling the Mazzeh district in the west of the Syrian capital. –0–

    A flagship event of the first ​Digital Education Week, the International Summit on the Use of AI in Learning & Teaching Languages & Other Subjects (AIinLT), was launched today.

    Officiating at the opening ceremony, Secretary for Education Choi Yuk-lin said that the country placed great importance on advancing digital education.

    She noted that the bureau implements digital education through four major focus areas, including enhancing students’ digital literacy and skills; strengthening professional training in digital education for teachers; optimising digital education infrastructure; and expanding cross-boundary and international collaboration.

    Ms Choi also called for collaboration among all stakeholders, such as the Government, educational institutions, educators, and the community, to optimise resources, share best practices, and maximise the impact of digital education.

    She also emphasised the irreplaceable role of human connections in learning, encouraging attendees to harness AI wisely to empower individuals, strengthen communities and build a smarter, more connected world of learning.

    The AIinLT is taking place at PolyU for four consecutive days starting today. The first two days feature keynote speeches, a panel discussion, paper presentations and teaching demonstrations.

    The following two days will include a post-summit workshop series covering a wide range of topics, along with a technology showcase where leading EdTech providers will demonstrate the latest AI hardware and software solutions, offering educators firsthand exposure to cutting edge-innovations.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Rep. French Hill Votes for H.R. 1, the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” to Tackle Inflation, Boost Jobs, and Put Arkansas First

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Congressman French Hill (AR-02)

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. French Hill (AR-02) issued the following statement after voting for H.R. 1 – the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which passed the House 218-214 and now moves to the president’s desk for signature.

    Rep. Hill said, “Republicans promised to deliver border security, rein in inflation, relieve regulatory burdens, unleash American energy, and keep taxes low for everyday Arkansans and Americans, and this landmark bill does just that. Central Arkansans deserve to have their dollars go farther and to have a government that works for them. This bill delivers meaningful relief to working families and small businesses across the country. It is a pro-family, pro-business, and pro-security bill that takes important steps to restore fiscal responsibility and deliver economic growth.

    “This bill represents more than just legislative action — it’s about meeting the commitments made to citizens and revitalizing the American Dream. With the One Big Beautiful Bill, we’re taking real steps toward securing a brighter future for all Americans. It’s a victory for Arkansas, for families, and for our nation’s future.”

    The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers for the American people. Here are just a few of the highlights:

    Pro-Family/Pro-Worker

    • An average of $10,000 more in take-home pay for a family of four in Arkansas.
    • Creates “Invest in America accounts” that provide $1,000 to every child born and allows families to contribute up to $5,000 per year for future expenses such as education or homeownership.
    • Increases the Child Tax Credit to $2,200 from $2,000, and more than double what it would have been if the bill had not passed.
    • Extends and enhances the Paid Family and Medical Leave Tax Credit.
    • Enhances the Employer-Provided Child Care Credit, the Adoption Credit, and the Child and Dependent Tax Credit.
    • Lower taxes for seniors.
    • No tax on tips or on overtime pay.
    • No tax on car loan interest.

    Pro-Prosperity

    • Prevents the largest tax hike in American history.
    • Makes most of the Trump Tax Cuts permanent.
    • Supports small businesses with enhanced tax deductions and immediate expensing.
    • Promotes American manufacturing and job creation.
    • Puts America on a path to fiscal responsibility through smart spending reforms.

    Pro-National Security

    • $140 billion to secure the border and facilitate deportations of illegal immigrants.
    • Funds construction of the border wall system and hiring of 10,000 additional Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
    • $150 billion to strengthen America’s military and protect our national security.
    • Modernizes our defense capabilities and builds the next generation of American military technology necessary to counter China.
    • $32.6 billion to increase shipbuilding to counter China.
    • $7.577 billion to improve quality of life for our service members.
    • $12.52 billion to modernize America’s air traffic control system.
    • Provides funding for the Defense Production Act to counter China in strategic minerals.

    Pro-Rural America

    • $50 billion to support rural hospitals.
    • Renews Opportunity Zones.
    • Saves 2 million family farms from the Death Tax.
    • Strengthens agricultural trade efforts.
    • Creates the largest farm safety net investment in decades.

    Pro-Energy

    • Eliminates costly Green New Deal regulations that drive up energy costs.
    • Unlocks American energy production and ends reliance on foreign adversaries.

    The One Big Beautiful Bill includes all of this — and much more. From Main Street to the family farm, this bill is a win for hardworking families, small businesses, and every American who wants a safer, stronger, and more prosperous future.
