Republican lawmakers secretly want the Supreme Court to end the tariff war

The trade war initiated by Trump has become a growing political burden for the Republican Party. According to the US Capitol Hill, Republican lawmakers who privately oppose tariffs but dare not publicly criticize the president secretly hope that the US Supreme Court will step in and stop the tariff war. According to the article, Republican strategist and former Senate Republican aide Brian Darling bluntly said that "it is not good for lawmakers to publicly oppose the president because the price is too high. So they are eager for the Supreme Court to step in and uphold the constitutional power of the House of Representatives to collect taxes." He said that polls show that the tariff policy is unpopular, and if it persists for a long time, it may kill the re-election of these lawmakers. Even Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, a staunch Trump ally, has said that "tariffs amount to a tax increase on millions of American consumers in disguise," and he disagrees with this approach. (CCTV News)
