Trump sells tax-cut package to Hispanic business owners

President Donald Trump is selling Hispanic business owners on his new tax cuts.

Trump is delivering the keynote address Wednesday at the annual legislative summit of the Latino Coalition. It’s his first time addressing Hispanic business owners.

Trump says the $1.5 trillion package of tax cuts he signed late last year have finally given American business a “level playing field.” He tells the Latino business owners that they’ll “see more of this in the coming weeks.”

Trump highlighted administration efforts to eliminate regulations that many businesses find burdensome. Trump also touched on immigration. He blamed Democrats for failing to reach agreement with the White House on a plan to protect immigrants who were brought to the country illegally as children.

Helen Aguirre Ferre, White House director of media affairs, says, “Economic and national security are of great interest to the Hispanic community and President Trump looks forward to speaking to the members of the Latino Coalition about his policies.”

It was the first time Trump has addressed Hispanic business owners. Vice President Mike Pence was the main speaker last year.

The coalition is a conservative organization headed by Hector Barreto, who led the Small Business Administration under President George W. Bush.
