VULNERABLE REPUBLICANS SHOW SIGNS OF BREAKING WITH DONALD TRUMP ON CHINA TARIFFS


Last week, negotiations between Washington and Beijing broke down. Trump added another $200 billion in tariffs on Chinese goods, and China responded on Monday by leveraging an extra $60 billion in tariffs on U.S. imports. Since then, markets have fallen (though they’re beginning to rebound), and some congressional Republicans have voiced concern with the route the president has taken.
Republicans who preside over districts and states with lots of farmers are particularly worried about the impact the trade wars may have on their re-election campaigns.
