President Trump Promotes GOP Tax Cuts in New York, Highlights SALT Deduction Expansion
President Trump visited Rockland County, New York, to promote GOP-backed tax cuts, particularly highlighting the expansion of the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap. During his visit, Trump credited Representative Mike Lawler for his persistent efforts in pushing legislation that benefits New Yorkers by increasing the SALT deduction cap from $10,000 to $40,000. This change is part of a broader legislative package referred to as the 'One Big Beautiful Bill.' Trump emphasized that these tax cuts are designed to benefit workers, families, and small businesses in New York, asserting that Democrats opposed these measures. The visit also served as a platform for Trump to criticize New York Governor Kathy Hochul and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, while urging support for GOP candidates in the upcoming elections.
