President-elect Trump held a two-hour meeting with Republican senators on strategies for his key agenda items, including border security and tax relief.
Trump initially resisted calls from GOP leaders, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune, to divide the agenda into two separate bills.
During discussions, Trump expressed a strong preference for a single comprehensive bill, despite concerns about the feasibility of this approach.
Several senators argued for a two-bill strategy, emphasizing that separating border security and tax legislation could enhance chances of legislative success.
Concerns were raised about Trump’s favoring of tariffs to fund his agenda, as well as the potential challenges of tackling tax reforms alongside border security initiatives.
