1News US correspondent Rebecca Wright told Rachel Smalley without savings from the healthcare bill paying for the massive tax cuts he's promised, there are questions about how he's going to pay for them.

"That would essentially create new taxes on items imported into the United States, so that will send a shiver down the spine of anybody exporting goods from New Zealand to America," Rebecca Wright said.
