FOX新闻：税收改革仍是特朗普总统首要任务
燕山大学 刘立军 宋葳 编写
◇TRANSCRIPT
Calling the retirement account incentive a great and popular middle class tax break that works, President Trump says there will be no change to that program.
It was an apparent response to reports Republican lawmakers are considering limiting how much you can deduct from 401k accounts.
Tax reform remains the top legislative priority for the President. He spoke with House Republicans during a conference call yesterday and is expected to meet with Senate Republicans at the Capitol tomorrow.
At the White House, Jared Halpern, FOX News.
