US new tariffs: Republican senators kick against Trump’s move

Published on April 01, 2025 at 05:26 AM

As the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump prepares to unveil reciprocal tariffs, some Senators from his party, the Republican, have warned against the move.

Republican senators, Susan Collins and Thom Tillis told CNN that the President's decision may not be for the best interest of Americans.

They voiced their opposition to a strategy that critics warn risks a global trade war and provokes retaliation by countries such as China, Canada and the European Union.

Trump told reporters on Monday that the US would be “very kind”; to trading partners when he unveils further tariffs this week.

He is of the opinion that reciprocal action is needed because America has been “ripped off by every country in the world.”;

Asked for details, he told reporters on Monday: “You’re going to see in two days, which is maybe tomorrow night or probably Wednesday.”;

Senator Collins warned that tariffs on Canada would be particularly harmful to Maine.

Tillis also said he was considering backing the resolution which Collins promised to raise, to block the tariffs.

Tillis said, “We need to fight battles with our foes first and then try to figure out any inequalities with our friends second.”;

China, South Korea and Japan have already agreed to strengthen free trade between themselves, ahead of Trump’s expected tariff announcement.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that the goal on Wednesday would be to announce “country-based tariffs.”;
