Koch-backed Americans For Prosperity calls on Congress to block Trump's Mexico tariffs
The conservative political advocacy group Americans for Prosperity is calling on lawmakers to block attempts by President Trump to impose tariffs on Mexico, the president of the organization told CBSN on Tuesday.
"We don't think they're the right approach. They first and foremost hurt American consumers," said Americans For Prosperity President Tim Phillips during an interview with Tanya Rivero on CBSN's "Red & Blue."
The group, backed by the influential Charles and David Koch, issued a press release Tuesday urging lawmakers to "reclaim their constitutionally mandated authority to impose tariffs and prevent further unilateral tariff increases by the president."

Sen. Chuck Schumer is daring President Trump to put his tariffs where his mouth is.
The New York Democrat predicted Tuesday that Trump isn’t going to make good on his threat to slap massive tariffs on Mexican imports, tying his theory to the president’s toothless penchant for “talking tough."
“Frankly, I don’t believe that President Trump will actually go through with the tariffs,” Schumer, the Senate’s top Democrat, said in a speech from the floor. “President Trump has a habit of talking tough and then retreating, because his policies often can’t be implemented or don’t make sense ... so I wouldn’t be surprised at all if President Trump doesn’t follow through on these tariffs, either.”

Instead, we can forgot about the immigration part as long as Mexico buys vegetables.
