Trump antagonizes both parties on trade
Trump is facing fire from all sides following his decision to impose new tariffs on exports from Mexico unless that country curbs illegal immigration into the United States.
Republicans caught off guard by the surprise move said it went beyond Trumps authority and warned it would imperil the new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) on trade that the White House is pressing Congress to approve.
Following through on this threat would seriously jeopardize passage of USMCA, a central campaign pledge of President Trumps and what could be a big victory for the country, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said shortly after the announcement on Thursday.
Grassley, whose committee holds jurisdiction over trade, called the move a misuse of presidential tariff authority."
