SALT Deduction Cap Talks With Trump ‘Positive,’ Lawmakers Say

House Republicans from New York, California and New Jersey unhappy with a cap on state and local tax deductions cast talks on the issue with Donald Trump Saturday night as “positive” but described no firm commitments from the president-elect.

“He really communicated that he feels for how unaffordable the taxes are for our constituents,” Representative Nick LaLota of New York said in an interview. Trump “is willing to engage in a solution.”
