Trump does not fluctuate the salt -Caucus to support the tax bill

President Donald Trump failed during a visit on Tuesday in Capitol Hill to influence the Key House Republicans from the Blue States to hand over the opposition to a large tax bill.

The opposition against the draft law from the “Salz Caucus” threatens to derail the tax legislation, the Trump and House speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.

The cross-party struggle is about the question of tax deduction, which enables state and local taxes on the federal income tax return.

A Republican tax law in 2017 limited this deduction of $ 10,000 in a states in the northeast and California, which are democratically directed as a political blow, in which the residents often pay much more than these state and local taxes.

A proposal in the current tax burden stipulates that this deduction is increased to $ 30,000, but this is still not high enough for a number of GOP legislators from these blue states.

Sources said that five members of the salt -Caucus remain “no” about the current bill after Trump's visit and, after the minor Republican leadership, slightly increased the upper limit.

On Monday, GOP leader offered an upper limit for deductions of $ 40,000, two sources said. One source said that the cap would only apply to people who earn 751,600 US dollars a year or less, and that the upper limit would exist for four years before they finally decreased to $ 30,000 if people earn $ 30,000 or less.

During his visit on Tuesday, Trump said to meet the members of the Republican House, to The Salt Caucus: “Let It Go”, reported NBC News.

The President was the rep. Mike Lawler, a New York Republican who is one of the holdingouts on the law.

“I know her district better than her,” said Trump to Lawler, according to a tweet from Punchbowl News co-founder Jake Sherman.

“If they lose because of salt, they wanted to lose anyway,” said Trump, according to Lawler.

Sources that spoke with CNBC confirmed the accuracy of Sherman's account.

The efforts of Trump and Johnson to adopt the tax bill were also frustrated by conservatives that reduce the federal budget deficit and do more from the Medicaid health insurance program than the current iteration of the law suggests.

Trump said to the Caucus on Tuesday: “Not F-Herum with Medicaid”.
