RNC's 1st day to focus on economy; here's what to know about Trump's plans

Donald Trump goes into the Republican National Convention with bold promises about the U.S. economy, but he has sketched out notably few details about how his plans would actually work. The convention's first day is still expected to focus on the economy even after Saturday's shooting at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania in which the former president was injured. If the program goes ahead as planned, expect speakers to argue that Trump's agenda of sweeping tariffs and lower taxes would jump-start the economy. The former president says he wants tariffs on trade partners and no taxes on tips and would like to knock the corporate tax rate down a tick. The Republican platform also promises to defeat inflation and quickly bring down all prices, in addition to pumping out more oil, natural gas and coal. The platform would address illegal immigration in part with the largest deportation program in American history. And Trump would also scrap President Joe Biden's policies to develop the marke
