The Speaker’s Lobby: Senator asks ‘Whose throat do I get to choke?’
…News tracked down Greer to get his reaction to the President’s sudden change in tariff policy.
“Were you surprised by the President’s announcement today?” I asked Greer.
“Well, I think the President has the authority to make these decisions, and he did what he believed was best for the country,” replied Greer.
“But what about the lack of consultation with Congress?” pressed Killion.
“Look, the President has been clear that he believes in using his executive powers to negotiate trade deals that benefit the American people,” Greer responded.
The sudden reversal by President Trump left many lawmakers scratching their heads. Some praised the move, while others criticized the lack of transparency in the decision-making process.
“It’s like a rollercoaster ride with this administration,” said Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska. “One minute we’re headed in one direction, and the next minute we’re going in the opposite direction. It’s hard to keep up.”
Ultimately, the fate of the President’s trade policy lies in the hands of Congress. Lawmakers will have to decide whether to support the President’s tariff plan or push back against it.
As the markets continue to fluctuate and uncertainty looms, one thing is clear: the debate over tariffs is far from over. And with the midterm elections approaching, the issue is likely to remain a hot topic on Capitol Hill.
So, as Greer and his team navigate the choppy waters of trade policy, all eyes will be on Washington to see how the drama unfolds. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
