Bloomberg: “Anxiety within the Republican ranks over Donald Trump’s trade policies bubbled to the surface on the House floor this week when a small group of lawmakers pushed back on the president’s signature foreign economic policy and sought a bigger say in how tariff levels are set.”

“The dissent was short-lived but it showed intra-party fractures on tariffs, the economic effects of which threaten to become a central issue in next year’s mid-term elections.”
