President Trump's new tax package won't be unveiled until next week, but he offered a little sneak preview Friday of just how huge the tax cuts will be. In an interview with The Associated Press published Friday, Trump said his tax reform plan will offer businesses and individuals "a massive tax cut," which he claimed would be "bigger I believe than any tax cut ever."
Trump said to expect his proposal on "Wednesday or shortly therafter." Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin had originally planned to pass tax reform by August, but now he hopes to get it through Congress by the end of 2017.
