President Donald Trump on Sunday pushed Republicans to get behind his taxation bill that will fund his agenda as the self-imposed Fourth of July deadline approaches.

“Great unity in the Republican Party, perhaps unity like we have never seen before. Now let’s get the Great, Big, Beautiful Bill done,” Trump wrote on social media.

Trump addressed the nation on Saturday night after the U.S. carried out airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facility, which he called "a spectacular military success."

Trump displays trade deal with UK that’s ‘not much’ different than one in May

While standing next to Prime Minister Keir Starmer of the United Kingdom, Trump displayed a trade agreement signed with the U.K. He then accidentally dropped the document, blaming the wind, and misspoke, stating that the agreement was with the European Union.

The White House clarified that the agreement Trump showed was with the United Kingdom.

When asked what was different between the agreement and the one he signed with the U.K. in the Oval Office in May, the president said, “Not much.”

"We just signed a document. This is not -- sorry about that ..." Trump said as he dropped the document.

"A very important document," Starmer chimed in with laughter.

"A little windy out here. We just signed it and it's done. And so, we have our trade agreement with the European Union, and it's a fair deal for both. It’ll produce a lot of jobs, a lot of income. And we have many, many other ones coming," Trump continued.

The White House provided additional details on steel and aluminum in the US-UK agreement, saying that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick will determine a quota of products that can enter the U.S. without being subject to the 25% Section 232 tariff.

The President flattered Starmer, concluding the bilateral meeting with, “The prime minister's done a great job. I want to just tell that to the people of the United Kingdom, he's done a very, very good job."

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney took the opportunity to deliver remarks that highlighted the G7's history of collaboration and described the current state of global affairs as a "turning point in history."

"We're meeting at one of those hinge moments, those turning points in history. The world is more divided and dangerous. Hostile states and terrorists expanded their capabilities in their reach, threatening global security and our local communities. Global commerce, energy systems, even intelligence, are all being rewired," Carney said.

"We will have open, frank discussions over the course of the next two days. We might not agree on absolutely every issue, but where we will cooperate, we will make an enormous difference, for citizens, and for the world and bring the next era of prosperity I hope to the benefit of those we serve," Carney continued.
