Trump Urges ‘Slim’ Spending Package, Downplays New Tax Cuts

President Donald Trump urged Republicans in Congress to pursue a “slim” spending bill in Congress focused on funding immigration enforcement, weighing in on a spat that has divided GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

Trump in an interview with Fox Business said that the legislation will focus “mostly” on funding Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, downplaying the likelihood that Republican lawmakers will be able to add tax cuts or other economic priorities to entice voters ahead of the midterms.
