Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and congressional Republicans will meet to sketch out the plan for passing a multi-trillion tax cut in the coming weeks as polling shows that voters largely disapprove of the White House’s handling of the economy.

Bessent and National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett will meet with top congressional leaders Monday afternoon as lawmakers return from a two-week break. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, House Speaker Mike Johnson and the two tax committee chairmen Senator Mike Crapo and Representative Jason Smith are slated to attend, according to people familiar with the schedule.
