'If Minnesotans don't like something, they say it's interesting,' says SenTinaSmith on President Trump's threats to slap tariffs on Mexico. 'These farmers are way past interesting. They are frustrated... They are pissed.'

That message, according to a Republican Senate aide, was delivered after two White House officials attended the GOP Senate lunch to explain the administration's legal reasoning behind the move. Republican senators are signaling they would have more support for a resolution of disapproval to end the national emergency associated with any new tariffs than they had in March, when a dozen Republicans voted against Trump's use of emergency powers to seize funds for his border wall.

McConnell: Not much GOP support for Mexico tariffs 02:51This isn't a vote many Republican senators want to have to take, and most members are still hoping the White House can change course after administration officials and Vice President Mike Pence meet with the Mexican delegation in Washington later Wednesday.GOP leaders aren't saying whether they think they could have a veto-proof majority on the question.

US importers warn Trump against Mexico tariffs 02:38There are still legal questions to be answered, depending on how the administration drafts the executive order or proclamation about the new tariffs. Republicans say they want to sort out the legalities first and want to talk directly to the President before they go into effect. It is clear Congress won't be passing any legislation this week ahead of the Monday deadline for the tariffs to go into effect.
