Manufacturers that struggle to develop long -term plans. Farmers who face revenge on Chinese buyers. American families are burdened at higher prices.

Republican Senators face the Trump administration with these concerns and many others because they are concerned about the economic impact of the president A sweeping tariff strategy It started into effect on Wednesday.

In a hearing in the Senate and interviews with correspondents this week, the Republican suspicion of the presidentDonald TrumpThe policies ran unusually. While legislators were keen on the Republican Party to direct their concern overTrump assistants and a consultant– Especially the representative of the American trade, Jameson Jarir, who appeared before the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday – still is a rare republican break from a president who requested him.

The legislators had a cause of concern:The stock market was in a volatile stumblingFor days and economists warn thatPlans can lead to stagnation.

“Who suffocated him in his throat if this is a mistake?” Republican SenatorGarm TeleisTell Jarir as he pressed for an answer by Trump with her official if there is an economic shrinkage.

Tillis’s frustration was aimed at a comprehensive tariff strategy that could be present in US manufacturers who are currently dependent on materials such as aluminum and steel from China. His mandate in North Carolina, where he will re -election next year, attracted thousands of foreign companies looking to invest in the manufacturing industries in the state.

Ever before Trump’s crossing, Republicans have been involved in two minutes to criticize the definitions and then turn to the president’s economic vision. In the afternoon, Tilis said in a speech in the Senate that “the president is right to challenge other countries that have offended decades of time with their relationship with the United States.” However, she continued about who was thinking about the White House in the long term in the long run.Economic effects of comprehensive definitions.

Tillis even allowed Trump’s commercial strategy still could be effective, but she said that there is a short window to show that it deserves high prices and lay off workers who worship workers.

For his part, Jarir assured the committee that the United States participated in negotiations with other countries, but “the trade deficit was contracts to make it, and will not be resolved overnight.”

Republican leaders in CongressIn addition to a large part of the legislators, he emphasized that Trump needs time to implement his strategy. They mostly rejected the idea of ​​placing a test on Trump’s identification strength, but it is clear that anxiety grows between Republicans in the rank and files about what awaits us.

Senator James Lancford, a Republican in Oklahoma, said that there is a company in his mandate that spent “millions of dollars” in transferring the production of parts from China to Vietnam. But now that Vietnam faces a very slope tariff, the work is unable to move forward in negotiating prices with retailers.

Lanford pressed Jarir to get a timetable for negotiations, but the trading representative replied, “We have no specific timetable. The result is more important than putting something artificial for us.”

Commercial agreements between countries usually take months or even years to exercise and often require parties to move through a set of legal, economic and commercial issues. However, the Republicans said they encouraged the evidence that Trump is in negotiations with other countries.

Senator Steve Denz, a Republican in Montana, said at the committee session that he “encouraged him” by news of commercial negotiations and a moment of an upward mark in the stock market to “hope that this tariff will be a means and not only an end.”

“Who pays these high definitions? The consumer will be. I am concerned about the inflationary effect. I am concerned if there is a commercial war that we will close the markets for American farmers, livestock and manufacturers,” he told Greer.

Other legislators claimed the Republican Party that the pain was worthy. Republican MP Ralph Norman, from South Carolina, a member of the conservative freedom gathering, said that the president is on the right path.

“It is pain, but it will be,” he said. “The president will make the right call. He does the right thing.”

However, traditional Republicans were looking for ways to back down from the Trump tariff plan.

Senator Chuck Grassley, one of the major Republicans, submitted a draft law from the two parties to give Congress the authority to review and approve the new customs tariffs, and Republican members in the House of Representatives were working to obtain support for a similar draft law. Such legislation would allow Congress to return some of its constitutional authority to the tariff policy, which was almost completely delivered to the president in recent decades through legislation.

But the White House has already indicated that Trump will lead the draft law, and both the majority leader of the Senate John Thun, Ruby, Speaker of Parliament Mike Johnson, R. La said.

Senator Marcin Mullen, a Republican who is closely in line with Trump, said on social media that the draft law was a bad idea to “move Congress at the pace of the turtle that runs a race.”

He added: “The reason that Congress gave this power to the president to start is that the ability to axis.”

butThe president’s messages are unclearOnly legislators only left when they tried to decipher any advisers and assistants who control the White House.

Senator John Kennedy, a Republican Louisiana, said that when he received calls from the business community in his mandate, he had no answers to them as well as telling them that the prospects for the economy are unconfirmed. Kennedy said that communication from the president’s assistants was conflicting, even when he expressed his support for Trump’s long -term goals.

Kennedy told reporters: “I don’t think there is any way to double or three times your tariffs on the world when you are the richest country in the history of mankind without somewhat shampolic,” Kennedy told reporters.
