President Donald Trump's tax plans include a proposal for a 1 time levy of 10% on more than $2.6 trillion in earnings U.S. companies hold offshore, according to a White House official familiar with the plan. The president's move to cut the corporate tax to 15% in the U.S. is being seen as an opening gambit in negotiations, rather than a red line, by economists as the drop in receipts would boost the deficit too much to be sustainable. Investors will scour the presentation for fresh details and await reaction from Congressional Republicans who'll be charged with enacting the changes.
