Key Senate Republicans are pushing back against President Donald Trump’s threat to impose new tariffs on Mexico to stem the flow of migrants, though it’s unclear whether lawmakers will take action.
The president’s announcement Thursday surprised many Republicans who hoped to focus on passing a new trade deal with Mexico and Canada known as the USMCA. That deal now faces fresh peril, a number of GOP senators said Friday.

Those opposing Trump are the very people that helped get us into this mess in the first place.
Swamp Rinos want amnasty and open borders.
Did this fake news article name any pussy hat wearing republicans?
’ A number of GOP senators...’ who are beholden to Mexican interests and will gladly carry their water rather than uphold the laws of this country or work towards the betterment of the USA.
Find out why they’re standing with Mexico and against the American people...
Those opposing Trump are the very people that helped get us into this mess in the first place.
The Donald is doing a great job isolating these RINO’s...
Then they should do their job and fix the border crisis. Then there would be no tarrifs
It named some who oppose ...
But the multitudes of Republicans supporting it aren’t mentioned.
The media are nothing but drama merchants for ratings.
The House Ways and Means Committee’s top Republican, Kevin Brady of Texas, called for a resolution between the U.S. and Mexico to head off the tariffs.
Joining Grassley in opposition to the tariffs were pro-trade Senate Republicans Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, Martha McSally of Arizona, John Cornyn of Texas, Joni Ernst of Iowa and Rob Portman of Ohio, whose votes Trump will need to pass the USMCA.
Ahhhh.... the media doing their bit to scare people and help drive the Dem agenda.
Remember when Nixon would negotiate with the Soviets and every tiny setback or halt in the negotiations was blamed on Nixon? The media (and Dems) would scream for fresh U.S. concessions to get the negotiations back "on track".
The GOP is a waste of time...
There totally useless
Yep! A LOT of Republicans, including Martha McSally, value cheap labor over freedom and culture.There is a reason why McSally lost to a bisexual who mocked Arizona. And then Gov Ducey appointed her to the Senate. ;>(
Good, USMCA is scam and worse than NAFTA. NAFTA didn’t have LGBT anti-discrimination language in it.
The same person who lead the negotiations for America was the guy who spearheaded TPP. We should all hope it fails.
Then come up with a solution....and get some of your Dem buddies to cross over....
McSally is toast. Whoever is advising this ... (she is incapable of an original thought) out to have [its] head examined.
USMCA is much better than NAFTA.
There are lessons to be learned from Brexit and the rise of the Brexit Party.
The GOPe and the swamp should take notice.
“Joining Grassley in opposition to the tariffs were pro-trade Senate Republicans...”
pro-trade Senate Republicans???
As opposed to all those Republicans who are anti-trade?
Does their exist any human being opposed to trade, that prefer to go hungry rather than engage in trade? As in trade, the sought after goal in the history of human endeavor.
I used to live in Texas, and would hear businessmen complain of the lack of tariffs, brought on by NAFTA, crippling their businesses.
