Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says President Trump will discuss his tax-reform plan in this week’s speech before Congress and that the president’s upcoming budget won’t include cuts to such entitlement programs as Social Security and Medicare. “We are not touching those now,” Mnuchin told Fox News’ "Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo. “So don't expect to see that as part of this budget.”Trump on Tuesday evening will give his first speech before a joint session of Congress. He purportedly will submit his fiscal 2018 budget to Congress by mid-March. Mnuchin said the emphasis on the business side will be on making U.S. companies more competitive.
