US House Republicans wrestle with Trump tax cuts, Medicaid needs

Republicans in the U.S. Congress turn in earnest this week to their biggest challenge of Donald Trump's presidency: trying to bridge internal divisions over proposed cuts to Medicaid and popular green energy initiatives to pay for a landmark tax-cut bill they hope to enact by June.

After a two-week recess marked by some heated encounters with constituents back home, Republican lawmakers in the House of Representatives are due to begin debating and voting on segments of Trump's agenda legislation that would also fund his crackdown on immigration and bolster fossil fuel production and military spending.
