Watch live: Trump gives remarks on tax reform

President Trump will sell the GOP’s tax-cut plan to the public in a speech on Wednesday amid efforts by congressional Republicans to get legislation on his desk by Christmas.

“As we work with Congress to achieve historic tax cuts, the President plans to speak Wednesday to the American people on how tax reform will lead to a brighter future for them and their families,” White House deputy press secretary Lindsay Walters said in a statement earlier this week.

{mosads}On Wednesday, Senate and House Republicans struck an “agreement in principle” on the sweeping tax-cut bill.

GOP sources familiar with the conference committee talks said negotiators are now just cleaning up some of the details on paying for last-minute changes to the bill, which would lower the top individual tax rate to 37 percent and set the corporate tax rate at 21 percent, according to a person briefed on the package.

Trump is expected to give remarks at 3 p.m.
