US President Donald Trump is facing strong opposition from members of his own party, after they blocked the advancement of the President's budget bill.

Nicknamed the 'big beautiful bill' by Trump, the bill seeks to lock into place tax cuts which mostly benefit wealthy American's, while also calling for no taxes on tips.

To pay for the tax cuts the Government would need to cut medical aid, food for the poor and clean energy initiatives. 

US Correspondent Richard Arnold talks to Mike Hosking about the bill and a terrorist attack in Palm Springs.
