Interview with Senator Chuck Schumer on Trump Tariffs and Senate Strategies

Published | Video Starts at 06:00

Senator Klobuchar has a bill with actually Senator Grassley, as you know, a republic from Iowa that says no tariffs unless Congress approves them. And they've gotten four or five Republican co sponsors. Tonight, as we do the voting on reconciliation, I am introducing legislation that says no tariffs will go into effect if it raises prices in any way. We're going to ask our Republicans, we'll see how many of them vote with us. But if they don't vote with us and the prices go up, which they're inevitably going up, they will feel the heat. (06:00–06:09)
