Trump will try to score political points by cutting taxes on tips

US President Donald Trump flew to Las Vegas to promote a law on tax cuts on tips and overtime, which could help him score political points amid the mixed reaction of American society to the operation against Iran. Exclusive footage from the scene of the April 16 events is published by Izvestia.

"At a time when most Americans are disappointed with the outcome of the operation in Iran, and Congress is literally sabotaging all the president's actions, Trump flew to Las Vegas. Here he plans to earn at least some political points by promoting the law on reducing taxes on tips and overtime," said Izvestia correspondent Nikolai Masters.

At the same time, it is noted that local residents are concerned about more pressing issues. Among them are the rise in prices of gasoline and groceries, as well as the decline in tourism caused by tariff policy.
