TrumpUnited States Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump says taxes for rich people may be increased. This appears to be a reversal of his initial policy.

Speaking during an interview, he also reversed his position on the minimum wage.

He said that he was yet to decide in terms of numbers; but he thinks people have to get more in terms of wages. He had previously said he is against increasing the minimum wage.

“We were talking about the minimum wage, and they said ‘Should we increase the minimum wage?’ And I’m saying that if we’re going to compete with other countries we can’t do that because the wages would be too high.”

Mr Trump, who looks set to become the official Republican candidate for the November presidential election, says he is allowed to change his policies.

Trump readily admitted that he had given up his previous position.

“Sure, it’s a change,” he said, framing his willingness to abandon one position as a negotiation tactic. “I’m allowed to change. You need flexibility. But my real minimum wage is going to be I’m going to bring companies back into this country, and (people are) going to make a lot more than the $15, even.”

However, several top Republicans including the speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Paul Ryan, have said they will not vote for him.
