House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says President Trump's proposed tariffs on Mexico are 'a distraction from the Mueller report.'
"There is not much support in my conference for tariffs, that's for sure," Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said at a press conference following a lunch on Tuesday, where White House officials tried to make their case for tariffs to skeptical Republicans."I know the Mexican delegation is here, apparently these talks are going well and I think our hope is that tariffs will be avoided and we'll not have to answer any hypotheticals such as you suggest," he said.
Tuesday's lunch laid bare the tension between Trump's desire to use tariffs as a threat and the political reality for GOP senators, who are concerned that the tax increase would hurt American consumers and businesses. Top Republicans, like longtime critic of tariffs, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, are also concerned that tariffs could scuttle the president's United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement trade deal.
The discussion at Tuesday's lunch was"somewhat heated, definitely tense. These guys are hearing a lot from folks back home who are really worried about these tariff hikes. The message was loud and clear -- don't do this," according to one senior Senate GOP aide. Republicans are hoping to get more clarity Wednesday after administration officials sit down with a delegation from Mexico at the White House.
