Only a minority of congressional Republicans fully agree with the president on tariffs.

They are nervous about the drop in the stock market and any rise in consumer prices.

Only four Republicans voted to revoke the emergency declaration that empowered Trump to unilaterally impose tariffs, only four Republicans supported the measure.

Tariffs on this scale might have already produced a full-blown Republican rebellion in 2017 , but the party today has more confidence in Trump ’s leadership. We will soon see how much and whether it will last long enough to give Trump a chance to try what he is hoping to accomplish through his trade policy..
