Sánchez forces Republicans to go on record backing Trump’s chaotic trade policies

Video Description

During the markup of the Republican tax bill, Ways and Means Trade Subcommittee Ranking Member Linda T. Sánchez (D-Calif.) introduced an amendment aimed at ending President Trump’s reckless trade agenda. Despite the clear economic consequences of the president’s tariffs, the Republican-led committee blocked the amendment in a 19–26 party-line vote, putting every Republican member on record for the first time in support of the president’s chaotic trade policies.
