Republican lawmakers secretly hope that the US Supreme Court will end the tariff war
Internet reports that the trade war launched by Trump has become an increasing political burden for the Republican Party. According to the US "Capitol Hill" report, Republican lawmakers who privately oppose tariffs but dare not publicly criticize the president secretly hope that the US Supreme Court will step in and stop the tariff war. The article stated that Republican strategist and former Senate Republican assistant Brian Darling bluntly said,"It is not advisable for lawmakers to openly oppose the president because the cost is too high." So they want the Supreme Court to step in and uphold the House's constitutional power to collect taxes." He said that polls show that the tariff policy is unpopular and that if it continues for a long time, it may ruin the re-election of these members. Even Trump's staunch ally, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, said that "tariffs are tantamount to a disguised tax increase on millions of American consumers" and he disagreed with this approach. (CCTV News)
