In his first remarks since Iran attack, Trump pushes his 'big, beautiful bill."
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."
President Trump made an appearance outside the White House on Wednesday as new flag poles were being raised on the South Lawn.
At 11 a.m., the American flags will be lifted. "That'll be very nice, very patriotic," Trump said.
Despite leaving the G7 summit in Canada early and skipping a bilateral meeting scheduled for Tuesday with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, the president spoke to Sheinbaum today over the phone, according to a White House official.
“Can confirm the call. It was a good call,” the official said without elaborating.
It was not clear if Trump also spoke with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy after skipping their bilateral meeting scheduled for Tuesday as well.

Messaging around the Trump administration’s stance on workplace operations on farms, hotels, and restaurants remains mixed days after ICE was told to ramp them down.
"There will be no safe spaces for industries who harbor violent criminals or purposely try to undermine ICE’s efforts," a new Department of Homeland Security statement said.
DHS did not respond to questions regarding reports about a possible reversal of the policy announced just days ago.
“Worksite enforcement remains a cornerstone of our efforts to safeguard public safety, national security and economic stability. These operations target illegal employment networks that undermine American workers, destabilize labor markets and expose critical infrastructure to exploitation,” said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
It comes as Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins told President Donald Trump that conducting enforcement operations at farms and agriculture worksites could deter migrants from showing up to work, sources told ABC News.
The secretary said in a statement over the weekend that she fully supports “President Trump’s America First immigration agenda as stated in his campaign, starting with strong border security and deportations of EVERY illegal alien. This agenda is essential to fixing a broken farm-labor economy and restoring integrity to the American workforce.”

Vice President JD Vance defended President Donald Trump's handling of Iran in a lengthy post on X Tuesday morning.
This comes as some conservatives, such as Tucker Carlson and those in the MAGA base, have been outspoken for the U.S. not to get involved in the war between Israel and Iran.
"First, POTUS has been amazingly consistent, over 10 years, that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Over the last few months, he encouraged his foreign policy team to reach a deal with the Iranians to accomplish this goal," Vance wrote on X. "The president has made clear that Iran cannot have uranium enrichment. And he said repeatedly that this would happen one of two ways--the easy way or the 'other' way."
The vice president told his followers that Iran has "been found in violation of their non-proliferation obligations by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)."
"He may decide he needs to take further action to end Iranian enrichment. That decision ultimately belongs to the president," Vance said. "And of course, people are right to be worried about foreign entanglement after the last 25 years of idiotic foreign policy. But I believe the president has earned some trust on this issue. And having seen this up close and personal, I can assure you that he is only interested in using the American military to accomplish American people's goals."
Vance's comments come amid a quickly escalating divide among some of Trump's most vocal supporters being led in part by two prominent Trump allies --Trump's longtime adviser Steve Bannon and Carlson -- who are continuing to speak out against U.S. involvement in the Iran-Israel conflict.
