GOP lawmakers 'far from sold' on Trump's economic plan: report

GOP lawmakers "are far from sold" on Donald Trump's plan to use "steep new tariffs to pay for tax cuts next year," Semafor reported Tuesday.

"I don’t like tariffs, Number One," Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) told the news outlet. "I think the consumer pays them. So they’re regressive. They’re a sales tax, basically."

The Kentucky lawmaker added, "I kind of doubt' tariffs would make it into a GOP tax bill," though Paul told Semafor that he's still open to the president-elect's plan.
