US EditionSALT Republicans, Johnson to meet as impasse hardens
- House Republicans and Representative Mike Johnson met on May 13, 2025, to debate raising the SALT deduction cap in Washington, D.C.
- The meeting occurred as lawmakers from high-tax states pressured for a significant SALT cap increase amid a deadlock over President Trump's tax package.
- The proposal includes raising the SALT deduction limit from $10,000 up to $30,000, with a gradual elimination of the deduction for earners above $200,000; however, some Republican lawmakers have expressed opposition to the proposed cap amount.

- This standoff continues to stall the broader $3.8 trillion tax legislation, threatening the planned renewal of first-term tax cuts and delaying a possible compromise.
