Trump meets with congressional Republicans as GOP lawmakers argue over tax and spending cuts

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump hosted an unusually long meeting with House Republicans at the White House on Thursday, turning over prime workspace for them to hammer out differences over the size, scope and details of their multitrillion-dollar plan to cut taxes, regulations and government spending. “We’re really grateful to the president for leaning in and doing what he does best, and that is put a steady hand at the wheel and get everybody working.” House and Senate GOP leaders have been desperately looking to Trump for direction on how to proceed on their budget bill, but so far the president has been noncommittal about the details — only pushing Congress for results. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters the president and lawmakers were discussing “tax priorities of the Trump administration,” including Trump’s promises to end federal taxation of tips, Social Security benefits and overtime pay. If the House Republicans’ initial meeting with Trump at the White House last month was a good first date, this one was “whether we want kids or not,” McClain said. The House GOP largely wants what Trump has called a “big, beautiful bill” that would extend some $3 trillion in tax cuts that expire at the end of the year, and include a list of other GOP priorities, including funding for the president’s mass deportation effort and border wall.
