McConnell bristles at Trump's plan to expand tariffs: 'They raise prices’

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made a notable break on Tuesday from former President Donald Trump on a policy with far-reaching economic ramifications.

McConnell bluntly stated he was “not a fan of tariffs” despite Trump’s vows to invoke, with or without the approval of Congress, a massive tariff increase on the more than $3 trillion in goods that the United States imports annually from other countries.
