Before the lunch on Tuesday, Sen. John Thune (R-SD) believes a disapproval resolution will gains support among Republican senators.
Trump says it would be “foolish” for Republican senators to stop tariffs on Mexico
Meanwhile, during a news conference in London, hours before the Senate Republicans’ lunch meeting, Trump reiterated his decision to impose the tariffs on Mexico next week.
“Mexico shouldn’t allow millions of people to try and enter our country, and they could stop it very quickly and I think they will, And if they won’t, we’re going to put tariffs on. And every month those tariffs go from 5 percent to 10 percent to 15 percent to 20 and then to 25 percent,” he said.
He also expressed confidence that the Republican senators will not vote on a disapproval resolution to block his plan. He said, “Oh, I don’t think they will do that. I think if they did it’s foolish. There’s nothing more important than borders. I’ve had tremendous Republican support.”
