On July 4th, President Trump signed into law a broad reconciliation package—The One Big Beautiful Bill. Among its many provisions were serious steps to stabilize our budget, reduce inflationary pressure, and yes, address the unsustainable growth of Medicaid. That last provision has become the focus of heated rhetoric and unfortunate misinformation.

Senators Curtis and Rosen, members of the Foreign Relations Committee, today introduced the Taiwan Undersea Cable Resilience Initiative Act, bipartisan legislation that would protect Taiwan’s critical communications infrastructure and deter malicious “gray zone” activities by the People’s Republic of China. The cables—critical for global communication and commerce—have been a primary target of the PRC for undercover sabotage to undermine Taiwan’s security and sovereignty.

Senator Curtis released the following statement after voting in favor of the Big Beautiful Bill, landmark legislation that secures the border, delivers permanent tax relief for Utah families, and gives business certainty on energy policy.
