The Speaker of the US House of Representatives from the Republican Party said today that he expects a bill containing many of the key measures in Donald Trump's program to be submitted for a vote in Congress in early April, BTA reported.
This “tight” schedule means that the text will be given for signature “on the president's desk before the end of April“, Mike Johnson said in an interview with “Fox News“.
According to the Republican, the bill will include proposals for “border security” between the United States and Mexico and the deportation of “dangerous criminals“ who have arrived in the United States.
Donald Trump has refocused his 2024 presidential campaign on immigration and, after his victory in November, said he would use the military if necessary to carry out his plan to deport an estimated 13 million illegal immigrants.
Mike Johnson said today that the text would include measures to “revitalize the American economy“ - in particular, by extending tax cuts passed during Donald Trump's first term, which are set to expire soon. He also promised to include a provision on the debt ceiling.
Trump will take office on January 20.
