Earlier today, President Trump sharply criticized some Republican members of Congress, declaring, "You don’t negotiate like I negotiate."
This week, both the House and Senate introduced bills aimed at repealing Trump’s global tariffs and imposing restrictions to prevent Trump—and future presidents—from enacting tariffs without Congressional approval. These bills have garnered bipartisan support, and even Glenn expressed interest, noting they would restore the Founding Fathers’ intent that tariff powers belong to Congress, not the President.
That said, Glenn also feels a strong sense of peace amid the recent economic turmoil. This stems partly from the array of options emerging for the U.S., lending credibility to Trump’s strategy. Several countries—including Israel, Vietnam, the EU, and Taiwan—have proposed zero-for-zero deals, offering to eliminate tariffs on U.S. goods if we reciprocate. So far, Trump has rejected these offers, choosing instead to pursue "tailor-made" deals with each nation, a process that demands time. He’s also intensified pressure on China, hiking tariffs from 34 percent on April 2 to 125 percent on April 9.
What do you think? Should Congress take away Trump's tariff powers? Is it wise to crack down on China so hard? Are you confident in Trump's plan? Let us know in the poll below:
