But now, as a promised December vote on the tax credits nears, Trump may be reversing his position. He is reportedly considering a plan to extend the subsidies for two years with an income cap even though it's not clear that Republicans in Congress would go along with that.
And the president himself said on Tuesday that he would rather not extend the subsidies, but, quote, some kind of extension may be necessary.

Officials say extreme heat continues to slow the rescue operations. It's Thanksgiving, and for millions of Americans, that means buying, cooking, and eating a lot of food. It also means tons of food waste, and Pierce Jacqueline Diaz explains.
Thanksgiving is the biggest day for food waste in the U.S. That's according to the Natural Resources Defense Fund, an environmental advocacy group. Roughly 200 million pounds of turkey meat are thrown out every year. But food waste is a year-round problem. Ted Janicki is a professor at Penn State who studies this problem.
If food waste were its own country, then it would be the third largest greenhouse gas emitter in the world.
Those emission figures are from all stages of the food system, from farm to landfill.
