Mollie Hemingway: Trump tariff plan needed because Congress won't act
By Charles Creitz | Fox News
Congress should be handling border security and tariff issues, but inaction on Capitol Hill is forcing President Trump to act, Mollie Hemingway said Friday.
Hemingway, senior editor of The Federalist, told "Special Report" the Constitution makes tariffs and border security Congress' purview but said lawmakers have not taken action. President Trump announced Thursday he will impose a five-percent tariff on Mexican imports beginning next month if the nation does not stop the flow of illegal immigrants across the U.S. border.
"It's very frustrating to not be able to compare a congressional plan with this presidential plan because there isn't something coming out of Congress," Hemingway said. "It seems like there is a lot of interest in keeping the status quo - whether it's the Mexican leadership or our own congressional leadership."
"Nobody seems to be coming up with anything, other than the president with this tariff plan, to deal with what is objectively a serious crisis."
Hemingway added claims the tariff plan is meant to distract from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's public comments about the Russia investigation are "absurd." read more
