Trump announces Americans will see tax cuts by February, if plan passes on schedule

President Trump on Wednesday made his closing argument for passing a sweeping tax reform package, dangling the prospect of Americans seeing tax cuts by February if Congress can pass a bill by Christmas.

“We’re so close right now, so close,” the president said during a speech at the White House.

The president spoke as House and Senate negotiators were holding a meeting on a compromise plan that still must pass both chambers. Trump declared they have reached an agreement that will “deliver more jobs, higher wages and massive tax relief for American families and for American companies.”

Then he lit a fire under Congress to get a bill to his desk next week.

“I’m excited to announce if Congress sends me a bill before Christmas, the IRS — this is just out, this is breaking news — has just confirmed that Americans will see lower taxes beginning in February,” Trump said. “Just two short months from now.”
