US EditionTrump warns House Republicans, 'Don’t f--- around with Medicaid'
- On Tuesday morning, President Donald Trump met with House Republicans at the Capitol to urge swift passage of a major tax and spending bill.

- The House GOP aims for a vote by Wednesday or Thursday, but unresolved disputes and Trump's narrow House majority suggest challenges ahead for finalizing the bill.
