Senate Republicans are discussing ways to block President Trump from imposing tariffs on Mexican goods out of concerns over their impact on the US economy — and the president said Tuesday the GOP would be 'foolish' to do so.
A move to block Trump's tariffs on Mexico, which are set to go into effect June 10, would be one of the most significant rebukes of the president by his own party to date. In March, Congress passed a resolution of disapproval to override Trump's use of his national emergency declaration to reapportion billions of dollars for his border wall, which Trump vetoed.
After Trump announced the tariffs, Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., said in a statement that the president"is right to point out the crisis at our southern border. However, a blanket tax increase on everything Americans purchase from Mexico is the wrong remedy." “This has really thrown an apple of discord into it," Pelosi, D-Calif., told NBC News, adding that Republicans"really got to separate themselves from the president on this because it’s so detrimental."
