President Trump reinforced his support for a substantial tax and immigration bill during a meeting with House Republicans, warning that opposition could lead to tax increases. The bill proposes around $1.5 trillion in cuts, primarily impacting Medicaid, despite Trump’s assurances of no cuts by targeting waste and fraud. Concurrently, 8.6 million people could lose coverage according to the CBO. Meanwhile, South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa is set to meet Trump to mend relations and address U.S. fears of China's growing influence in Africa.
