Be careful of the Republican Party, because President Trump has deviated from traditional party orthodox because President Trump has flattened a large -scale tariff on the three largest trading partners in the United States in the brewing trade war. I'm stepping on it.
This movement risks a considerable cost of living spikes, but in many cases, Popurist's Republican members support protectionist policies, despite some of the private anxiety from the traditional gopper. At the moment, I have been drying the powder at the moment I want to pass through Trump's negotiations.
Few Republicans, who are praising Trump's movements, praise the bidding to withdraw concessions from major US trading partners instead.
“I think these tariffs have been designed to change their actions in these countries,” said Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to Fox News Sunday. “I'm glad I'm fighting back against China and Mexico about the American Fentanyl poisoning.”
“The illegal intersection decreased by 60 % in 10 days, so I think these tariffs are designed to change, and if the change comes, the tariff will probably disappear.”
In 2023, there was an estimated 74,702 overdose of a synthetic opioid (mainly Fentanyl). Disease Control Prevention Center。 Reducing Fentanyl's spread was Trump's top priority in the 2024 election.
Trump launched a warning shot shortly after winning the election last November and demanded that Canada, China, and Mexico take measures to improve the US Fentanil crisis. He also demanded Mexico and Canada to help stop the inflow of illegal immigrants.
On Saturday, he took over the threat to a 25 % tariff on Mexico and Canada and a 10 % tariff on China. These tariffs are conducted in addition to existing tariffs.
At least since the Reagan era, Republican members were generally a supporter of free trade, which began to change under Trump. Few Republican members want to cross Trump.
Perhaps his highest voice critic on tariffs in Congress is Senator Land Paul (R-Ky).
“Customs duties are just taxes,” Paul said I went to X。 “We have won the last election by complaining about the Democratic Party's policy. Customs enthusiasts are forced to explain high -priced sustainability.”
Last year, long before Trump's victory, major Republican members, including the leaders of the Senate majority, John Tune (R-SD), spoke to South Dakotan and paid attention to tariffs. Axios at that time “All tariffs have never been in the past.”
Others, such as Senator John Comin (R-Texas) and Roger Wicker (R-Miss), had previously expressed anxiety.
So far, they are almost quiet, as Trump has now advanced the largest tariff mass in decades and downturns it with the public's eyes. Masu.
“The president has a policy of such a growth promotion group,” said the Sunday Morning Futures of Fox News, said the majority of the Senate Joip John Baraso.
“These are all growing and help the economy, so I'm not interested in the tariff elements,” he said.
Trump acknowledges that the public may feel some pain, but he ultimately claims that the price is “worth it.” Trading with Canada, Mexico and China accounts for about 40 % of the imports of the United States, accounting for about $ 1.4 trillions per year.
It is estimated by the tax foundation A wide range of tariffs may increase the average of $ 830 taxes per year to average US households.
Democratic members who are trying to regain a worker -class voter who bleeds to Republican members has raised concerns about Trump's tariffs and chewing an average American wallet.
“Donald Trump has a 25 % increase in customs duties between Mexico and Canada,” said Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the leader of the Senate minority. “And what does that mean? Higher prices, higher New Yorkers, and Americans will increase. It will affect almost all.”
“I hope the president will be able to acquire a bipartinese law to prevent the president from raising these tariffs,” he added. “Or, if he does so, they will roll back them. Everything promised during the election is outside the window.”
Schmar warns that tariffs will affect daily Americans watching the Super Bowl next week, causing the party's favorite costs, such as Corona and Wakamore, to spikes.
The latest thing about President Trump's tariffs
After being attacked by a political blowback against inflation, the Democratic Party has almost existed in opposition to Trump's tariffs. One major exception is JARED GOLDEN (D-Maine), a middle-aged person in a very competitive area.
“I don't agree with Trump for everything, but he's that old trading emits a bad smell and needs new things,” he said. I said in a statement。
“By giving our own production and privileges to the industry -what other countries are already doing – Customs duties can help you redeem the economy for production, as well as consumption. “
It also has geopolitical meaning. Critics are worried that tariffs will be alienated Canada and Mexico.
Canada has already announced retaliation tariffs on the United States, but Mexico has pledged a counterattack. Canada is particularly aiming to focus retaliation in the red state to politically hurt Republican members.
“I've seen the president has already taken action with Colombia this week,” said Secretary of Land Security, Christie Noem, said on Sunday of NBC. “And you saw Colombia reacting very positively.”
“I have the opportunity to do exactly the same in Canada, Mexico, and other countries,” she added. “If the price rises, it is for other people's reactions to American law.”
Last week, Trump threatened Colombia with tariffs and urged Bogota to dedicate a cave to his demands to regain illegal immigrants.
Many Republicans have chose to focus on the aspect of the negotiations of Trump's movements, but the members of the party's populist have hope for their economic impact. You can see it.
“I am fully supporting President Trump's movement to impose tariffs on Mexico and Canada,” said Senator Bernie (R-OHIO). I wrote it in X。 “Ohio is open for business and develops red carpets for the manufacturing of American companies!”
Rick Scott Senator (R-FLA.) I was praised again This movement and “all countries using the United States” praised Trump, informing him that the United States's first economy has returned. Scott has also advertised the law to crack down on tariff avoidance.
Trump has long called it “the fourth beautiful word” after a long time in the tax, love, and religion. In addition to utilizing tariffs for concessions, Trump is identified to set an “external revenue service” to bring money from overseas.
There is a risk that the president on the use of the 1977 International Emergency Economic Law is facing the court's challenge, and may pursue these tariffs through execution power.
