Trump is pushing the House GOP holdouts to stand behind the massive bill for his agenda

Washington – President Donald Trump traveled to Capitol Hill on Tuesday morning to send the Republicans a message that disabled a massive invoice for his domestic agenda: stop fighting and doing it as soon as possible.

In a meeting with the closed door with the Republican Republicans, Trump aimed at a block of republicans from the blue state who have pushed the deduction, their voters for state and local taxes, known as Salt, to a higher upper limit, and the conservative hard lines warn against steep cuts towards Medicaid.

Trump's appearance at this meeting takes place at a critical time for spokesman Mike Johnson, R-La.

The package is currently increasing the salt cap to $ 30,000 compared to the current deduction of $ 10,000. But Pro-Salz Republicans have dismissed this number so much too low.

“Let go,” Trump told the members of the so -called Salzcaucus, according to three legislators at the meeting.

While Trump showed his comments on all legislators who negotiated a higher salt cap, Trump Rep. Mike Lawler, Rn.Y.

“End it, Mike, just end it,” said the President, according to two of the legislators. (Especially when Trump Lawler advocated re -election in his seat for the battlefield at the beginning of this month, he advertises the efforts of the Congress Member to increase the salt cap.)

The Republicans of Salz Caucus are just a faction that has the package with which the tax reductions of Trump expanded in 2017, the financing for enforcing immigration and the military can be reduced and expenses are reduced elsewhere. It would also increase the debt limit.

A handful of singing members of the hard right -wing house Freedom Caucus threatens to vote against the measure, unless they secure deeper expenditure.

According to new work requirements for Medicaid recipients, they urged that they can occur earlier than the start date 2029 written in the current law. And conservatives require a lower federal game for states for recipients that were added as part of the Obamacare expansion.

But Trump said to the Republicans “not with Medicaid”, according to two legislators in the room.

A high -ranking civil servant of the White House said Trump asked the Republicans to hold together to pass what he described as “a large, beautiful bill”. The president emphasized that the salt problem should not stop the bill and that moderate can later “fight for salt”, said the official.

And Trump asked the Republicans not to touch Medicaid, except “waste, fraud and abuse,” said the official. The official said Trump supported the new provisions of the new work requirements and remove and documented Medicaid immigrants.
