President Donald Trump plans to go to the Capitol on Tuesday to urge fractious House Republicans to overcome divisions and unite behind his signature tax-cut legislation.
Despite broad agreement among Republicans on the levy reductions at the core of the package, lawmakers have been mired in conflict over how deeply to cut safety-net programs, such as Medicaid and food stamps, how quickly to end green energy credits and how high to increase a limit on deductions for state and local taxes.
