The Republican-controlled U.S. Senate narrowly advanced President Donald Trump's, sweeping tax-cut and spending bill on Saturday, during a marathon weekend session marked by political drama, division and lengthy delays as Democrats sought to slow the legislation's path to passage.

President Donald Trump says chronic U.S. trade deficits are a national emergency. His tax bill will make them worse. The Senate is expected as soon as this weekend to begin voting on the president’s signature legislation, which would extend his 2017 tax cuts and fund enhanced immigration enforcement.
