In rare confrontation, GOP senators line up against Trump's 5% Mexico tariff plan

1 / 8US MexicoMexican Foreign Affairs Secretary Marcelo Ebrard, center, departs a news conference at the Mexican Embassy in Washington, Tuesday, June 4, 2019, as part of a Mexican delegation in Washington for talks following trade tariff threats from the Trump Administration. WASHINGTON — White House officials downplayed expectations ahead of the high-level, face-to-face meeting Wednesday between the U.S.

"There's not going to be any tariffs," Grassley said."They got a long list of things they're going to offer to us, and it will preclude tariffs going into effect." Administration officials have said Mexico can prevent the tariffs by securing its southern border with Guatemala, cracking down on criminal smuggling organizations and entering into a"safe third country agreement" that would make it difficult for those who enter Mexico from other countries to claim asylum in the U.S.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday with understatement,"There is not much support in my conference for tariffs, that's for sure."It is unclear, however, whether they have the votes to stop Trump, and he said they'd be"foolish" to try. "Mexico will offer to do a lot more on migration, but they will also say that they will retaliate against tariffs and a lot of people are going to lose a lot of money," he said.
