Is President Trump pushing congressional Republicans to the right on tariffs on Mexico? (Amber Phillips)

Last week, President Trump announced plans to roll out a 5 percent tariff on “all goods coming into our country from Mexico” in retribution for what he described in a Twitter post as that nation’s role in the  “illegal immigration problem.” When the President threatened to tack on an additional 5 percent for every month Mexico refuses to engage in border enforcement up to his administration's standards, many Republican lawmakers, long seen as being from the party of free trade, clearly were not happy. Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma told POLITICO that the Trump administration is “trying to use tariffs to solve every problem but HIV and climate change.” But will their displeasure translate into action in Congress?  In this episode of TrumpWatch, Amber Phillips, a reporter for the Washington Post political blog The Fix discusses the storm brewing on the hill over tariffs and considers whether it could affect the nearly unanimous support the  President has enjoyed from his party throughout his time in office.
