Fiscal hawks are demanding deeper cuts on major tax, energy and healthcare package that would advance key Trump administration priorities.

Summary

Donald Trump’s tax cut agenda is stalled as Republicans struggle over spending cuts.

Fiscal conservatives demand up to $2 trillion in reductions, while others fear deep cuts will limit future funding options.

Proposals include shortening tax cuts from 10 to 5 years and offsetting revenue losses from Trump’s promised tax breaks, like eliminating income tax on tipped wages.

Senate Republicans favor prioritizing border security over tax cuts, but House Speaker Mike Johnson insists the House must lead.

With GOP infighting unresolved, progress remains slow.
