Trump’s Tariff Proposals Ignite GOP Concerns Over Economic Impact

Republican lawmakers and economists warn that Trump's sweeping tariffs could lead to higher consumer prices and internal party divisions.

Donald Trump proposes a 60% tariff on Chinese imports and 10% on other countries, aiming to protect U.S. industries and raise revenue.
Economists and GOP lawmakers agree that the tariffs would likely increase prices for American consumers, effectively acting as a 'sales tax.'
Vice President Kamala Harris criticizes the tariffs, arguing they would cost middle-class families thousands of dollars annually.
Republican lawmakers express mild objections but are not united in opposing Trump’s proposals, fearing internal party conflict.
Experts warn that aggressive tariffs could lead to a trade war, resulting in higher prices and economic uncertainty for both the U.S. and its trading partners.
