The White House 'is trying to use tariffs to solve every problem but HIV and climate change,' one Republican senator said after Tuesday's meeting with White House officials.
Top Republican senators on Tuesday said there is very little support from GOP colleagues to approve President Donald Trump's recently proposed tariffs on Mexico.
Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford said the White House"is trying to use tariffs to solve every problem but HIV and climate change." Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, who was the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, said he would not support the president's tariff because it's like placing a burden on a"friend." Philbin and Engel didn't disclose which option the president would choose, but said a decision would be made within a week.
Texas Sen. John Cornyn said a direct dialogue with the president was urgent before any decisions were to be made.
