Trump's face-to-face pressure was ineffective, and some House Republicans still have reservations about the tax bill.

Internet reported that U.S. President Trump pressured fellow Republicans in Congress on Tuesday to unite in support of a comprehensive tax cut bill, but apparently failed to convince a handful of opinionated Republicans that they could still block the package that covers most of Trump's domestic agenda. At a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill, Trump bluntly warned House Republicans not to try to change the huge bill further. He strongly warned against making it more difficult for people to obtain Medicaid benefits. "Don't mess around on Medicaid," Trump told Republicans, according to a person present who declined to be named. Trump also discouraged Republicans from seeking further state and local tax exemptions. But the issue is particularly important to moderate Republicans in high-tax states such as California and New York. (Jin Shi)
