Tap title to read story
House Republicans are delaying President Trump's proposed tax cuts and spending reductions due to disagreements over budget cuts. Conservative Republicans want deeper cuts than the Senate's proposed $4 billion reduction, demanding at least $2 trillion. The standoff threatens to delay the bill before Congress's spring recess, with the House Speaker struggling to find consensus. Economic concerns, including Trump's tariffs and potential recession, add urgency. Democrats oppose the bill, viewing it as favoring the wealthy.
