Trump setting up for a battle with Congress over tariff bill - Politico
|According to reporting by Politico, US President Trump made a personal phone call to Republican Senator Bob Corker, asking him to back away from his bill proposal that would see the Senate strip away the President's power to enact trade tariffs based on 'national security' without majority Congressional approval.
According to Politico, Corker is refusing to back down as free-trade Republicans and Democrats are coming together to fast-track the bill proposal, as notable Republican backers the Koch brothers are also vehemently against the White House's flagrant use of loosely-interpreted laws that allows the President to impose stiff trade sanctions on anybody, including close allies to the US.
