WASHINGTON, D.C.: A major tax cut promised by US President Donald Trump was on track for final passage next week, after two previous holdouts in his Republican party said Friday they would vote yes on the legislation. Trump “looks forward to fulfilling the promise he made to the American people to give them a tax cut by the end of the year,” she added in a statement. Rubio had been demanding a doubling of the child tax credit to $2,000. “I know every bill we consider is imperfect and the question becomes is our country better off with or without this piece of legislation,” Corker said in a statement. Trump was optimistic about his party’s chances of passing tax reform, which would be a massive win for the leader who has yet to notch any major legislative victory after nearly a year in office.
