Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is continuing his push against President Donald Trump's tariffs, with legislation he is co-sponsoring against them to come before the Senate next week.
Paul says lawmakers should be in control of tariffs, rather than Trump, through the use of a national-emergency law.
The discussion will come less than a month after Paul was one of the only two chamber Republicans to vote against his party's budget, which is seen as a key part of the president's tax cuts, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.
"I don't have any bad feelings towards the president, but this is an issue that I'm not alone on," Paul told reporters recently. "Millions of investors who are all self-interested have misgivings about tariffs."
He has also called on Congress to "grow a spine," and said "Congress needs to stand up for its prerogatives."
His opposition to the Senate budget framework came because he said he did not think it did enough to reduce the country's national deficit.
Paul says he admires Trump's actions so far, but not the tariffs.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
so rand want to make sure nothing gets done. putz.
Rand Paul is right about this. Taxation is one function of government that should not be given to the sole discretion of the executive branch.
That’s his usual trick. Ask for the moon and accept nothing. Take power from someone who will act and give it to a body that never does anything. I dislike Rand a lot.
Congress knows sh** about tariffs. They are not “money” people...they are verbal...aka....paper pushers.
I have never trusted this little squirrel.
Rand trusts Congress more than our president.
No thanks, Rand.
Maybe they should strip him and then tar and feather him.
This man is a danger to America. His true colors are being exposed.
America should give the power to tariffs to Congress, do nothing Congress, who has allowed America rto be ripped off and hollowed out for decades. When peopole tell you who they are believe them or keep your rose tinted glasses on at your peril.
So Rand is showing his true colors (again) and aligning with the democrats to stop President Trump...
Rand wants to insure that corrupt politicians keep getting kickbacks. Ie. Feinstein, Warren etc.
Tariffs ≠Taxation.
That is the lying mantra of the left & the globalists who want to continue to destroy America.
Sure Rand, give more power and authority to those who have made a career out of making themselves rich off of govt.
That’s a sure way to get the people even more screwed than we already are.
Thanks for nothing.
But you are good at creating many laws that hurts this nation more than help it. You all are a major reason the people voted for Donald John Trump, and we are quite satisfied with what he is trying to do. Get behind him instead of standing in his way.
Sorry dude but Rand Paul and just about every single House or Senate member are POS...and not worthy of service.
That’s why they want the power over tariffs.
