President Donald Trump offered no assurances that he’d address complaints about a new limit on federal deductions for state and local tax payments after meeting Tuesday with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, a fierce critic of the cap.

The president “listened to the governor’s concerns,” Trump spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement following the White House meeting. He added that the session “demonstrates the president’s willingness to meet regularly with our nation’s governors.” The statement didn’t promise any action.
