Legislation goes to House but unclear if lower chamber will accept changes to tax and spending bill amid factional splitsSenate Republicans on Tuesday passed a major tax and spending bill demanded by Donald Trump, ending weeks of negotiations over the comprehensive legislation and putting it another step closer to enactment.But it remains unclear if changes made by the chamber will be accepted by the House of Representatives, which approved an initial draft of the legislation last month by a single vote.

For many poor countries, the scale of the shock would be similar to that of a major war, the authors found.
