President sells tax plan to truckers.

-

President Donald Trump pitched his tax plan as a boost for truckers at an event in Pennsylvan­ia on Wednesday, saying “America first means putting American truckers first.”

Trump appeared before about 1,000 cheering people at an airplane hangar, dramatical­ly draped with American flags. Two big rigs were in the background, part of the president’s effort to pitch his tax overhaul as a boon for truckers.

Trump argued that his tax reform framework would benefit truckers by lowering their tax rates, boosting manufactur­ing and making it easier for families to pass their trucking businesses on to their children.

“When your trucks are moving, America is growing,” Trump said at Harrisburg Internatio­nal Airport in Middletown.
