Despite having support from several Republican senators, including Mitch McConnell and Lisa murkowski, party leadership has shown little interest in reversing Trump\u2019s course on trade policies.Simultaneously occurring, House Speaker Mike Johnson highlighted the importance of allowing Trump space to achieve his manufacturing and trade deficit goals.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Senate GOP leaders dismiss bipartisan push to curb Trump&rsquo;s tariff power<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2085592\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Republican Senate leaders on Monday downplayed the notion that a bipartisan bill to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3369642\/trump-trade-war-gop-claw-back-tariff-authority-congress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"claw back Congress&rsquo;s authority over tariffs\">claw back Congress&rsquo;s authority over tariffs<\/a> from President Donald Trump would receive serious consideration.<\/p>\n<p>GOP leaders&rsquo; dismissal of a proposal from Sens. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/chuck-grassley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Chuck Grassley\">Chuck Grassley<\/a> (R-IA) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/maria-cantwell\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Maria Cantwell\">Maria Cantwell<\/a> (D-WA) to require congressional tariff approval came after a third straight day of plunging stock markets in response to Trump&rsquo;s across-the-board import taxes of at least 10%, with fresh threats to increase them for key trading partners like China.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3372987\/mark-warner-video-discussing-tariffs-dog\/\">Mark Warner shares video discussing tariffs with his dog<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3372884\/brian-schatz-expands-block-trump-nominees-300-positions\/\">Brian Schatz expands block on Trump nominees to 300 positions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3372635\/jon-ossoff-raises-11-million-one-quarter-senate-race\/\">Jon Ossoff raises $11 million in one quarter for Senate race<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think that has a future,&rdquo; Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) told reporters of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/members-of-congress-speak-out-on-financial-literacy-education-and-reform\/\" title=\"Members of ... speak out on financial literacy education and reform\">bipartisan legislation<\/a>. &ldquo;The president has indicated he will veto it. I don&rsquo;t see how they get it to the floor on the House, so I think, at this point, we&rsquo;re kind of waiting to see what&rsquo;s going to happen next.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The White House earlier Monday issued a veto threat of the measure, dubbed the Trade Review Act of 2025. Its position stated the bill would &ldquo;dangerously hamper the president&rsquo;s authority and duty to determine our foreign policy and protect our national security.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The measure appeared to already have enough support to clear the GOP-controlled Senate&rsquo;s 60-vote filibuster threshold if leadership changes its tune and decides to allow a vote. As of Monday, seven Republicans were co-sponsors: Sens. Jerry Moran (R-KS), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Todd Young (R-IN), and Susan Collins (R-ME).<\/p>\n<p>The bill would require tariffs to expire within 60 days unless approved by Congress and mandate that lawmakers be informed by the White House of forthcoming tariffs at least 48 hours before they take effect.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) is leading a companion bill in the House. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) urged to &ldquo;give the president space&rdquo; on tariffs for Trump to achieve his longer-term goal of boosting domestic manufacturing and diminishing trade deficits with other countries.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s telling that there were more Republicans that have been added on,&rdquo; Murkowski, who was an early co-sponsor, told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>. &ldquo;My reason in signing on was as much about the Senate&rsquo;s responsibility as it is the issue of tariffs and the impacts.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/finance-and-economy\/3231974\/high-interest-rates-could-bedevil-trump-debt-rises\/\"><strong>HIGH INTEREST RATES COULD BEDEVIL TRUMP AS DEBT RISES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But even as a growing number of congressional Republicans sound the alarm over rising prices from tariffs and Congress relinquishing much of its authority on trade policies over the past century, Republican leaders showed little desire for Trump to change course.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think so,&rdquo; said Sen.
