US President Donald Trump has waded in the tax cuts debates by urging lawmakers in the Republican-controlled Congress to cut the top income tax rate to 35 per cent. Members of the US House of Representatives and Senate have been debating their respective tax cuts plans since last week, hoping to bridge differences and pass the bill by the end of the year. "I am proud of the Rep. House & Senate for working so hard on cutting taxes (& reform.) We're getting close!" Trump wrote in a Twitter post on Monday, Xinhua reported.
