President Trump will sell the GOP’s tax-cut plans to the public in a speech on Wednesday amid efforts from congressional Republicans to get legislation on his desk by Christmas.
“As we work with Congress to achieve historic tax cuts, the President plans to speak Wednesday to the American people on how tax reform will lead to a brighter future for them and their families,” White House deputy press secretary Lindsay Walters said in a statement Monday.
Axios reported that Trump’s speech will tax place at the Treasury Department, where the audience will consist mainly of young people and middle-class families.
The speech comes as House and Senate Republicans are working to resolve the differences between their two tax bills and produce a final piece of legislation.
