Löftet: Skattereformer före augusti
Donald Trumps utlovade skattereformer kommer att genomföras innan kongressen går på semester i augusti. Det säger USA:s nye finansminister Steven Mnuchin i en intervju med CNBC. Reformerna kommer att presenteras någon gång i mars, har Donald Trump tidigare lovat.
– De kommer bli väldigt omfattande. Fokus kommer att ligga på skattesänkningar för medelklassen, förenklingar i skattesystemet och att göra företagsbeskattningen mer konkurrenskraftig gentemot resten av världen, säger Mnuchin.
