According to Independent Republicans in the House of Representatives have narrowly passed a $4 trillion budget, paving the way for President Donald Trump’s tax overhaul plan.

The budget blueprint will allow Republicans, without any support from Democrats, to pass a measure that could cut taxes by as much as $1.5 trillion over the next 10 years.

The narrow 216-212 vote suggests the difficult battle a tax reform bill will face to make it to the President’s desk to be signed into law.

After nine months in office, Mr Trump has still not secured a major legislative victory.
