MAGA Sen. Ted Cruz 'hopeful' Trump's tariffs won't go into effect

Raw Story  

Sen. Ted Cruz is expressing concern over President Donald Trump’s border policies as his threats of tariffs against Mexico and Canada inch closer to becoming reality. “The President uses tariffs for multiple purposes, one of them is as an incentive to cause other nations to work with the United States and advance our interests,” Cruz said. That is incredibly important.” Cruz’s mounting anxiety comes as Trump doubled down on his proposed 25% tariffs against Canadian and Mexican imports, now saying they would go into effect next week despite efforts by both countries to improve border security to prevent the flow of fentanyl into the U.S. Trump's waffling has “created confusion on the timeline for the tariffs,” which were originally supposed to go into force on Feb. 4,” Politico noted Thursday. It could also spark a trade war with the two neighboring countries, which have both already “developed lists of U.S. goods to target for retaliatory tariffs if the U.S. duties go into effect,” Politico said.
