President Donald Trump is losing patience with Republican lawmakers from high-tax states who are demanding an increase in the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap as part of a major tax-cut bill.
Trump has signaled frustration with these demands, arguing that the SALT deduction primarily benefits blue states and is bad policy. The disagreement has caused a deadlock among Republicans, threatening to delay or derail the passage of the sweeping tax legislation. Some GOP holdouts, like Mike Lawler, remain at odds with Trump, insisting on lifting the SALT cap to protect their constituents.
The standoff highlights deep divisions within the party over tax policy and regional interests.
