Planet Daily News: House Speaker Johnson said on Monday that even if some Republican lawmakers openly implore Trump to negotiate a way to cancel tariffs before they take effect on Wednesday, the House will provide "space" for Trump to implement his massive global tariff system. Johnson stated, "We will give him the space necessary to implement his policy, and then see how things develop." The Speaker further said that Trump is "actively engaged and trying to resolve" trade deficit issues. Opposition within the Republican Party is taking the form of bipartisan legislation aimed at reclaiming Congress's tariff powers from the president. Previously, Democratic Senator Maria Cantwell and Iowa Republican Senator Chuck Grassley proposed legislation to limit the president's unilateral tariff power. U.S. Representative Don Bacon (Republican from Nebraska) plans to introduce the House version of the legislation on Monday. Due to strong opposition from a group of fiscal conservatives, Johnson on Monday refused to publicly commit to bringing the revised Senate budget plan to a House vote this week. However, some senior Republican aides said the current plan is still to hold a final vote on Wednesday afternoon. (Politico)
