Statement from the Press Secretary
This afternoon,
key leaders from Congress and the Administration had a productive
meeting at the White House with President Trump to discuss the
priority of enacting historic tax
reform that is pro-growth, pro-jobs, pro-worker, and pro-America. The
leaders reaffirmed their commitment to reducing the crushing burden of
the Nation’s self-destructive tax code, which hurts our companies and
our workers, and discussed their desire to make
the tax code simple, fair, and easy to understand. They discussed
House and Senate committee hearings on tax reform and agreed that
committee activity should continue so that Congress can move to mark-ups
on legislation as expeditiously as possible. President
Trump expressed his resolve to encourage action and build public
support for the passage of tax reform that creates jobs and raises wages
for American workers. The leaders also discussed the critical need for
funding to support the Hurricane Harvey rebuilding
and recovery efforts in Texas and Louisiana.
