President Donald Trump visited Capitol Hill today to persuade lawmakers to pass his multi-trillion-dollar package, which includes tax breaks, spending cuts, and increased border security.The president sent a direct message to House Republicans, urging them to stop fighting and support the bill. "I think it was a meeting of love. There were a couple of things that we talked about specifically where some people felt a little bit one way or the other, not a big deal, and I covered them. It wasn't so much a speech. I covered certain points," Trump said.He warned Republicans against making cuts to Medicaid, except for addressing waste, fraud, and abuse. Nonpartisan analysis suggests that millions could lose their health insurance with the proposed changes, although some lawmakers are advocating for deeper cuts. Trump also urged Republicans to stop fighting for bigger state and local tax deductions, reversing a campaign promise.Back at the White House, Trump, alongside Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, unveiled plans for a missile defense system called the Golden Dome. This system would place U.S. weapons in space for the first time, with the capability to detect and stop missiles in the event of an attack.White House Correspondent Kalyn Norwood asked President Trump about the timeline for the missile defense system. Trump said, "We think it's gonna be about a little less than three years. And we'll have a big phase-in very early, you know, we're starting immediately with $25 billion. It'll cost about $175 billion completed, but we think in two and a half to three years."The president mentioned that the $25 billion has been included in the bill currently being worked on by the House. He also stated that he has the necessary support from Congress to fully fund the plan.
