/Article


Republican senators are expressing concerns about the economic impact of President Trump's new tariff strategy. The worries range from manufacturers struggling to plan for the future, farmers facing backlash from Chinese buyers, and households dealing with rising prices. Some lawmakers, like Senator Thom Tillis, are questioning who will be held accountable if the tariffs lead to an economic downturn. There is a sense of unease among Republicans, who are torn between criticizing the tariff rollout and supporting the president's efforts to challenge unfair trade practices. Despite the potential benefits of the strategy, such as addressing trade imbalances, there is growing apprehension about the short-term consequences like job losses and higher prices. Lawmakers are emphasizing the need for Trump to have time to see if the strategy will be effective, even as concerns about the impact of the tariffs continue to mount.
