Sen. Ron Johnson: Trump Used Tariff Threat ‘Brilliantly’ To Get Leverage with Mexico

‘Republicans understand that tariffs are attacks on American consumers’

EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: “I think, just in general, Republicans understand that tariffs are attacks on American consumers and we don't want to see them in place long-term, nor do I believe President Trump does either. He's using tariffs as leverage in trade negotiations and I think he used them as leverage in the situation brilliantly, quite honestly.“
