Washington (EFE) .- The president of the United States, Donald Trump, urged the Republicans of Congress to raise taxes to the rich as part of his “great and beautiful bill”, but is running with obstacles within his party, according to local media.
Trump, in a recent conversation with the president of the House of Representatives, Republican Mike Johnson said that Congress should raise taxes to some of the people with the highest income, according to The Washington Post.
However, the “great and beautiful bill” of the Republican magnate faces difficulties, since Republicans in key districts affirm that the broad bill cannot drastically cut the benefits of the Social Security network, while hard -line Republicans require additional billions in expense cuts.
According to the CNN, those frustrations arose at a two -hour meeting in Johnson’s office on Tuesday night, where the president met with approximately a dozen Republican centrists who have refused to support any change in the Medical Medical Medical Services program that can harm eligible Americans who depend on the program.

For his part, the Treasury Secretary, Scott Besent, also suggested the creation of a new tax category for those who earn more than 5 million dollars a year.
Trump also seeks to close a fiscal lagoon that allows investment fund managers to pay lower tax rates, and another that would submit the large stadium owners to higher taxes, according to The Washington Post.
The highest tax section, which now pays a rate of 37 %, is currently applied to those with more than $ 626,350 in income, or $ 751,600 for married couples that present a joint statement.
Republican senator Josh Hawley said he had no problem uploading taxes to the richest taxpayers, but acknowledged that most Senate Republicans do not think the same, according to the Tabloid.
