According to The Washington Post, the Trump administration is “exploring the creation of two controversial new taxes — a value-added tax and a carbon tax — as part of a broad overhaul of the tax code, according to an administration official and one other person briefed on the process.”
Generally speaking, until Trump implements policy – in the form of an executive order or through work with Congress – it’s wise to take what he says with a grain of salt. It’s also prudent to be wary of quotations from anonymous “administration officials.”
