WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he will ask the Republican-controlled Congress to further speed up its efforts to overhaul the U.S. tax code, citing the potential impact of Hurricane Irma as a reason to hasten reforms.
&ldquo-I think now with what&rsquo-s happened with the hurricane, I&lsquo-m going to ask for a speedup. I wanted a speedup anyway, but now we need it even more so,&rdquo- the president said at the outset of a Cabinet meeting at Camp David. The White House released a video of his remarks.
Trump urged Congress in a Friday tweet not to wait until the end of September for tax legislation.
