US President Donald Trump stated that his administration has
permanently eliminated the so-called inheritance tax, a measure that represents
a significant benefit for millions of families who own farms and small
businesses across the country. According to the president, this decision aims
to prevent heirs from being forced to sell part of their assets to cope with
the tax burden arising from the transfer of property between generations.
Trump indicated that the elimination of this tax will help
preserve the continuity of family businesses and farms, considered by his
administration to be fundamental pillars of the American economy. In this regard,
he asserted that the reform will protect approximately two million family
farms, which, according to his statements, could have faced financial
difficulties or even gone out of business due to the impact of the inheritance
tax.
The president stated that the measure aims to strengthen the
economic stability of working families, encourage long-term investment, and
ensure that assets built up over decades remain in the hands of future
generations. He also indicated that the policy is part of a strategy aimed at
reducing the tax burden and stimulating growth in the productive sector,
especially in rural communities.
According to the U.S. administration, eliminating the tax
will help preserve family wealth, boost job creation, and contribute to
maintaining economic activity in regions where agriculture and family
businesses are essential sources of income and development.
