  • A group of about 20 Republican House members from New York, New Jersey, and California was invited to meet with President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Saturday, ahead of a likely fight over extending his 2017 tax cuts.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's planned meeting with Republican lawmakers focused on addressing the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap. This cap, set at $10,000, was part of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which Trump signed into law. The meeting aims to explore potential changes to this cap, which has been a point of contention, particularly in high-tax states like New York and New Jersey. These states argue that the cap disproportionately affects their residents. The article mentions that while Trump has not publicly committed to altering the cap, his engagement with the issue could signal a shift in policy, especially as he considers his political future and the needs of his voter base in these key states.
