Republican senators are increasingly concerned about the influence of Trump’s trade advisor, Peter Navarro, who is returning to spearhead the former president’s trade wars. With hopes of mitigating the impact of Trump’s import duties, some GOP lawmakers are looking to the trade representative nominee for a more balanced approach. However, reports indicate that Navarro’s aggressive stance has led to ‘consternation’ within the party. Despite these tensions, many Republicans appear willing to grant Trump significant powers regarding emergency tariffs, raising fears of potential economic difficulties ahead.
