(Bloomberg) -- Conservative hardliners threatened to block President Donald Trump’s massive tax and spending package just as an agreement to increase the state and local tax deduction removed a key obstacle.

House Speaker Mike Johnson announced Wednesday that he had an agreement with lawmakers from high-tax states to increase the limit on the SALT deduction to $40,000 and shortly after ultraconservatives lashed out.

Several hardline Republicans said House GOP leaders aren’t honoring concessions the White House promised them.

Trump and Johnson plan to meet with some of the ultraconservative lawmakers at the White House at 3 p.m., a person familiar with the plans said.
