President Donald Trump's allies are torn apart for his tariff strategy, including punitive rates such as those next Monday on steel and aluminum, and extra import tax that are intended to increase the income for the nation.
Trump has a tariff kick and has plans for more. He said he will announce mutual rates against all countries on Tuesday or Wednesday. Mutual rates would impose import tax on products where another country has levied rights to American goods.
“Very simple, they charge us, we'll charge them,” Trump said on Sunday. 'Rates will help. Rates will make it very successful. '
Trump goes over the board rates from 10% to 20% in almost all input as a way to get cash and to help tax reductions are planning Republicans.
He told Fox News that his plan will make America 'rich'.
'We are becoming a rich and watching, we are not that rich now. We owe $ 36 trillion. That's because we let all these nations benefit from us. The same, such as 200 billion with Canada. We owe 300 – we have a shortage with Mexico of $ 350 billion. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to let that happen, “Trump told Fox News” Bret Baier.
But some conference republicans ask questions about the president's plan to generate income.
President Donald Trump has had a tariff kick with more import taxes to come
The legislators are concerned that the rates do not raise the type of money that Trump claims it will do.
“I have heard figures of almost $ 1 trillion of income or replacing income tax, and I just don't see it,” said Wisconsin's Republican Senator Ron Johnson last week.
Republican Senate -Meerness leader John Thune also has worries.
“I am not a big fan of the universal uniform rates everywhere because in some cases of the impact it has on the AG community, which is crucial for our state,” that represents the agricultural South Dakota, told Reuters last week.
He noticed that the level of rates can impose Trump 'still seen'.
Rates will be in Trump's presidency much earlier than during his previous four years in the White House, when he gave priority to tax reductions and deregulation.
The president has alternately said that he sees import tax as instruments to force concessions about issues such as immigration, but also as a source of income to help close the government's budget deficit.
Trump On Sunday did not offer any details about the steel and aluminum tasks or the mutual rates.
He previously said that the US should impose rates on computer chips, medicines, copper, oil and gas input.
Trump has a mixed record when it comes to maintaining his rates.
He delayed his threat to one 25% import tax on all goods from Canada and Mexico.
But he kept his 10% tasks on import from China.
“I have heard figures of almost $ 1 trillion of income or replacing income tax, and I just don't see it,” said Republican Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, so that Trump's rates do not raise the money that he doesn't want to raise the money he wants

Moreover, Trump alerts warn that the European Union and South Korea will also see rates because of taxes, regulations and fines that they have imposed on American technology companies such as Google.
“I think Europe is a huge trade war,” Robert O'Brien, Trump's first-term, told Trump's national security adviser, at the Wall Street Journal. “I don't believe that the president will tolerate this kind of action against the largest companies in America.”
Trump has long complained that the US is buying more from the EU than it sells, and said that last week rates on the EU will 'certainly happen'.
The European Commission said on Monday that it would respond if Trump would continue with his threat to hit 25 percent rates on steel and aluminum, hit them as 'illegal' and 'counterproductive'.
'By imposing the rates, the US would tax its own citizens, increase costs for business and accept inflation. Moreover, rates increase economic uncertainty and disrupt the efficiency and integration of world markets, “the committee said.
And the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that the EU can act 'within an hour' if Trump can do his tariff promises well.
Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the executive arm of the European Union, will meet Vice President JD Vance in Paris on Tuesday to discuss the issue.
She has repeatedly said that a trade war would cost both economies a lot and that Europe is ready to negotiate to avoid one.
The majority of American steel and aluminum imports come from Mexico and Canada, which means that those two countries usually run the risk that Trump will impose the 25 percent levy.
But the threat of Trump of mutual rates also makes Europe delivered.
They would focus on specific industries, including the car industry of the EU, as well as the agricultural and pharmaceutical sectors.
In some categories, European rates are remarkably steeper than the American counterpart: 10 percent compared to 2.5 percent for American cars, for example.
Trump claims that his plan is only fair.
“If they charge us 130% and we don't charge them nothing, it won't stay that way,” he said reporters.
