Mnuchin: Obama har stått i vägen för USA:s tillväxt
USA:s finansminister Steven Mnuchins ambition är att snabbt komma överens med republikanerna i kongressen kring Donald Trumps utlovade skattereformer för att ha omfattande reformer godkända mot slutet av augusti.
– Det är en ambitiös tidslinje. Det kan bli senare i år, säger han till Wall Street Journal.
Den nyligen utnämnde finansministern säger även att den inbromsade ekonomiska tillväxten i USA sedan finanskrisen beror på Obamaadministrationens politiska reformer – reformer som kan dras tillbaka.
