President Donald Trump said he intends to repeal Obamacare before moving on to tax reforms, Fox News Insider reported Tuesday from a discussion between the president and Fox Business News.
“We’re going to have a phenomenal tax reform [plan], but I have to do health care first,” the president said in a preview of the interview, which is scheduled to air in the U.S. on Wednesday.
Trump and the GOP House leaders last month cancelled a planned vote on the American Health Care Act, which was the Republican plan to replace the Obama-era health-care law.
In the interview, Trump said his initial August deadline for a tax reform plan will be moved back, but he plans to complete both health care and tax reforms by the end of this year.
