Trump vows tax cuts and warns of ‘danger’ from immigrants

Donald Trump used his 78th birthday party on Friday to promise deeper tax cuts if he wins the November 5 US election, and to make vague predictions about future attacks on US soil following the arrest of Tajik nationals with suspected links to Islamic State (IS). . Among thousands of supporters at a convention center in West Palm Beach, Florida, the Republican candidate pledged to further reduce the corporate tax rate he cut as president, while also offering tax relief to the middle class. Trump, who is locked in a close rematch race with President Joe Biden, a Democrat, did not provide details. He lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and introduced several other tax breaks that expire next year. I’m going to cut taxes even further,” Trump said, without offering a plan to offset the possible drop in revenues. “I want to reduce taxes even further, especially for middle-income earners.” A tough stance on immigration is a key part of his government and he has promised major action if re-elected. Trump highlighted the recent arrests of eight people from Tajikistan in New York, Los Angeles and Philadelphia who, according to a person familiar with the investigation, were suspected of having ties to the extremist Islamic State group. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the people were arrested in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Joint Terrorism Task Forces and were being held on immigration charges, although the agency has not confirmed the possible link to IS. “Our country has never been in more danger than it is right now,” Trump said, claiming without evidence that thousands of terrorists were pouring into the United States. “Our country will have to pay a high price for many, many years to come.” Biden has tightened his approach to immigration as it proved to be a major political vulnerability for him. Earlier this month, he imposed a broad asylum ban on migrants caught crossing the border illegally. US-Mexico border. Republicans in Congress earlier this year rejected a bipartisan effort to tighten immigration rules after Trump told them not to implement them and hand Biden a political victory. Trump addressed a raucous crowd of supporters, many wearing red, white and blue, with the slogan “Make America Great Again.” The event was organized by a group of supporters called Club 47 USA, whose name is a nod to their hopes that he will be the 47th president.
