Senate Republicans are hoping to ice Democrats out from deciding the fate of President Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, a move that Democrats could eventually use against them.
Senator John Thune of South Dakota, the Republican majority leader, said that “Senate Republicans are united with the president in viewing a temporary extension as unacceptable.”
President Trump has argued that tariffs are not taxes on U.S. consumers, but rather on foreign companies that will have to lower their prices to maintain access to the U.S. market.
