Republican senators threaten to derail Trump's new NAFTA
A group of Republican senators met with President Trump at the White House Thursday afternoon to talk about trade and tariffs as Congress considers ratifying the Trump-led United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement .
“If these tariffs aren’t lifted, USMCA is dead,” wrote Grassley in a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed. ‘Tariffs are working’Earlier this year, Grassley told reporters his previous attempt to convince the President to lift the tariffs was not well received. It’s unclear if Thursday’s attempt was any more successful. Shortly after the meeting, President Trump tweeted “tariffs are working.”
Ahead of the meeting, Portman — a former US Trade Representative —also said Trump needs to deal with the tariffs on aluminum and steel. Minivans a national security threat?The Commerce Department submitted the results of its investigation into whether auto imports pose a national security threat in February. The department’s recommendations have not been made public. The president has until May 18 to make a decision.
Portman told reporters earlier this year that he wanted to pass the legislation before Trump acted on auto tariffs.
