Speaker of the US House: House will still 'green light' for Trump's global tariff plan
Online reports, according to US media Politico, U.S. House Speaker Johnson said on Monday that even if some Republican members publicly implored Trump to negotiate a way to eliminate tariffs before the tariffs take effect on Wednesday, the House will still implement Trump's large-scale global tariff system provides "space." "We'll give him the space he needs to implement policies and then see how things play out," Johnson said. The speaker went on to say Trump was "actively engaged and trying to resolve" the trade deficit issue. Republican opposition takes the form of bipartisan legislation aimed at taking back Congress's power on tariffs from the president. This comes after Democratic Senator Maria Cantwell and Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa proposed legislation to limit the president's power to unilaterally impose tariffs. U.S. Rep. Don Bacon (R-Nebraska) plans to introduce a House version of the legislation on Monday. Faced with strong opposition from a group of fiscal conservatives, Johnson on Monday refused to publicly promise to submit a revised Senate budget plan to the House for a vote this week. However, some senior Republican aides said the current plan remains to hold the final vote on Wednesday afternoon as originally planned. (Jin Shi)
