Grassley says Trump must lift tariffs or risk trade failures [View all]

Yeah while I'm sure fornicate face will get right on that Chuck

Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley says Congress won't consider a new trade deal with Mexico and Canada until President Donald Trump lifts tariffs that have prompted other countries to take actions that have hurt U.S. farmers.
Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley answers questions from reporters following a Cedar Rapids event. Grassley just returned from trade talks in China last week.

Speaking Wednesday on a call with reporters, Grassley said Trump must end steel and aluminum tariffs before Congress will ratify a United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement. Farmers in Iowa and across the country have been hurt by reciprocal tariffs placed on agricultural products, including pork and soybeans.

Grassley says tariffs also could hinder efforts at a trade deal with China.
