The Republican Party in the United States acknowledges feeling pressure due to President Trump's tariff policies, and Wall Street donors have also expressed dissatisfaction. Trump insists on not limiting his tariff powers, but Republican donors hope lawmakers can persuade the president, pointing out that tariffs are harming the U.S. economy. Trump expressed dissatisfaction with a bill proposed by Senators Maria Cantwell and Chuck Grassley, threatening to veto it and conveying a message of "don't even think about it" to Republican senators. Senate Republican leader John Thune believes the bill has no future. Although lawmakers did not specifically mention conversations with donors, concerns have increased after three days of turbulence in the U.S. stock market. Texas Senator Ted Cruz publicly criticized the tariff policy, calling it a tax on consumers.
