Moreover, the GOP senator emphasized that American and Chinese consumers are paying the price as a result of the tariffs and trade war.  He directly explained his position on the issue to Trump. According to him, the President “doesn’t agree with my macro view on trade.”

Toomey is a member of the Senate Finance Committee. He introduced a bipartisan bill to limit Trump’s power on tariffs. The proposed legislation will give Congress the authority to approve future tariff increases under Section 232 of the 1962 Trade Expansion Act.
