President Trump on Tuesday warned that there were “forces” at large that were working to undermine his tax reform efforts and maintain the status quo in Washington.
“We need you to be united and committed and proactive in order to overcome the forces fighting — and there are forces fighting out there — that very much benefit by the way it is now,” the president said during a meeting with business leaders and his cabinet on tax reform.
“That’s bad for the country. They know that, but they are fighting for themselves.”
Trump appealed to the business leaders gathered at the White House to push for his plan.
“The country needs you now more than ever before. You are leaders of the country. Certainly leaders on the subject. You know more about it than anybody,” the president said.
