Countries are expected to begin duscussions on tariffs

Trump Officials: 50 Countries Have Reached Out to Negotiate Tariffs

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said that about 50 nations have reached out to the US to discuss President Trump’s sweeping tariffs, however, he said that nothing will stop the levies from going forward.

Defending the president’s economic plan on Sunday, Lutnick said the calls from foreign officials prove that “these countries know that they’ve been ripping us off,” suggesting there was no room for negotiations.

“There is no postponing,” he told CBS’s Face The Nation. “They are definitely going to stay in place for days and weeks.”

“The tariffs are coming,” Lutnick added. “He wasn’t kidding. The tariffs are coming. Of course, they are.”

While Lutnick did not specify which countries contacted, the White House, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett both reiterated the assertion during separate appearances on Sunday shows.

Democrats still trying to drive the last Nail

AG Barr will destroy the Democrat Party after they hit him with a lawsuit

Democrats feel emboldened and now are going after the Attorney General and Commerce Secretary, Wilbur Ross in a lawsuit.

"The House first voted to enforce the subpoenas in July, formally holding Barr and Ross in contempt of Congress for defying the committee’s subpoenas seeking information about the administration’s ultimately unsuccessful efforts to add a citizenship question to next year’s census.

This week, The House Oversight and Reform Committee filed a lawsuit against William Barr and Wilbur Ross to enforce the panel’s subpoenas seeking information about the Trump administration’s failed efforts to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census." [Politico]

This Committee has 7 more Democrats than Republicans with 22 Democrats, some including Trump haters Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley. Jim Jordan is the Ranking Member in this lopsided committee.  Democrats won't quit and want complete destruction of all Republicans.

Why shouldn't we have a citizenship question on the census? The 2018 election was devastating to Republicans.
