Trump Pushes Back on “Rebel” Republicans Over Tariffs: “You Don’t Negotiate Like I Negotiate”
President Donald Trump pushed back against Republican lawmakers who are questioning his authority to impose tariffs, saying they don’t know how to negotiate.
In a heated exchange, Trump told reporters that he will not be swayed by the efforts of some in Congress to limit his power to institute tariffs. He specifically targeted certain Republicans for their attempts to block his actions.
“I just saw it today, a couple of your congressmen,” Trump said, mocking the lawmakers’ stance. “Sir, I think we should get involved in the negotiation of the tariffs.” Oh, that’s what I need, I need some guy telling me how to negotiate.”
Trump also warned that if Congress were to take over tariff negotiations, China would be the “happiest people in the world” and the US would end up paying a higher rate.
“They wouldn’t be paying 104%, Trump said. “I’d say they’d be paying no percent — we’d be paying them 104%.”
The President’s comments come as some lawmakers have raised concerns that his administration is overstepping its authority by imposing tariffs without congressional approval.
Trump dismissed these claims, stating that he knows how to negotiate and that the US will not be taken advantage of under his leadership.
“You don’t negotiate like I negotiate,” Trump emphasized.
