Trump To Promote Tax Breaks In Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (AP) — President Donald Trump heads to Las Vegas to promote the tax cuts he signed into law last year, part of a push to focus on economic issues ahead of this year’s elections. But Thursday’s effort to highlight the fact that workers who earn tips and overtime will get bigger returns this tax season is getting eclipsed by higher gas prices driven by the Iran war. The president’s trip out West is paired with a stop in Phoenix on Friday for an event with conservative political group Turning Point USA. The trip comes as Trump faces growing political pressure to wrap up the war and focus on a message that helps his party as they try to defend their majorities in November’s midterm elections.
