Editor’s Note: House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has called for GOP solidarity with President Donald Trump on tariffs against Mexico, promising to hold the line in the House: “House Republicans support the President on Tariffs with Mexico all the way, & that makes any measure the President takes on the Border totally Veto proof. Why wouldn’t you as Republicans support him when that will allow our President to make a better deal.” https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/06/05/kevin-mccarthy-backs-trumps-tariff-strategy-against-mexican-migration/
Is the Congressional GOP ready to bow to Wall Street on tariffs against Mexico? http://dailytorch.com/2019/06/is-the-… President Donald Trump threatened on May 30 to raise tariffs on all goods out of Mexico to 5 percent until Mexico gets control of illegal immigrants coming across the U.S. border into America. This of course was enough to send Wall Street into another mini-panic, with corrections on indices like the S&P 500. In the meantime, Senate Republicans are strongly signaling opposition to Trump’s proposed tariff. Apparently nervous investors are more important than securing the border. So far, their response is weak, but what do they care?
