President Donald Trump<\/a> gathered with House Republican leaders at the White House on Thursday to relay his tax priorities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the meeting, he told House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., and others that he wants to fulfill his campaign promise to stop taxing tips.\u00a0<\/p>\n

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt updated reporters as the lengthy meeting was still ongoing, detailing that Trump wants “no tax on seniors, Social Security,<\/a> no tax on overtime pay.”<\/p>\n

Additionally, she said, he wants to renew his tax cuts from 2017 in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). The legislation’s provisions begin to expire later this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Leavitt added that Trump is focused on also adjusting the cap on State and Local Tax (SALT) deductions, which has been a sticking point for Republicans in states with high costs of living.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Further, Trump laid out to House Republicans that he is looking to “eliminate all the special tax breaks for billionaire sports team owners; close the carried interest tax deduction loophole,” and institute “tax cuts for Made in America products.”<\/p>\n

“This will be the largest tax cut in history for middle-class working Americans. The president is committed to working with Congress to get this done,” Leavitt said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump’s meeting with the House GOP leaders on taxes comes as the lower chamber attempts a one-bill budget plan that includes all of the president’s agenda priorities, including both the border and taxes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The budget reconciliation process lowers the threshold to advance a bill in the Senate from 60 votes to just 51. And with a 53-vote majority in the upper chamber, Republicans are poised to push policies through with only support from the GOP conference.<\/p>\n

The House Republicans have yet to move forward with a plan for the budget, however, allowing the Senate GOP to move out ahead of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Senate Budget Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., announced his intent to push a first bill on border, defense and energy through next week. Taxes would be addressed later in the year as part of a second budget resolution.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The move threatened the House Republicans’ positioning to lead the process and spearhead a one-bill approach.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
