Mitch McConnell is the latest to trash Trump plan that will raise prices

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell panned Donald Trump’s plans to raise tariffs on many goods, decrying it as a policy that would raise prices for middle-class consumers.

McConnell, who has endorsed Trump, was asked about Trump’s tariff ideas during a media availability at the Capitol on Tuesday.

“I’m not a fan of tariffs, they raise prices for American consumers. I’m more of a free trade kind of Republican that remembers how many jobs are created by the exports that we engage in,” McConnell said.
