WASHINGTON (AP) – The Latest on President Donald Trump and Congress (all times local):
9:20 a.m.
President Donald Trump is urging Republicans in Congress to start work immediately on a tax overhaul.
On Twitter Friday, Trump tweeted: “Republicans must start the Tax Reform/Tax Cut legislation ASAP.” He added: “Don’t wait until the end of September. Needed now more than ever. Hurry!”
Trump has been promoting his plans to overhaul the tax system, though so far he has provided few details, outlining only broad priorities. There is not yet any bill in Congress; under the legislative process, lawmakers must complete a budget first in order to come up with their Republican-only approach on taxes.
