Sen. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) voiced support for President Trump’s tariff policies Thursday, even as she acknowledged the agricultural community can get “a little nervous” about the topic, which has dominated much of Trump’s first two months in office.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) called tariffs “a tax” that he says will be passed on to consumers in an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. Mullin added that tariffs will open up markets for the US.

"The president, who is a businessperson, understands that completely"
