Podcasts. Radio. News.
So here's the latest this morning. The president threatening House Republicans taking a stand against his tariff agenda.
Chapter 4: How does the USMCA impact trade relations with Canada and Mexico?
The president posting on Truth Social there will be consequences after six GOP lawmakers cross party lines to rebuke the president's levies on Canada. The Republican Congressman French Hill voting against the measure to override President Trump's tariffs. And he joins us now for more. Congressman Hill, welcome to the program, sir.
Your reaction to what happened on the Hill yesterday and why you voted the way you did.
Chapter 5: What are the implications of President Trump's tariff policies?
Well, good morning, Jonathan. Look, I think we should handle the tariff discussion in a more comprehensive way and not take votes every week on the floor that turns the House floor over to the Democratic Party. That's why I believe that standing with Speaker Mike Johnson on this maintains Republican control of the floor.
So this is a very important strategic issue in a parliamentary body like Congress with a very narrow majority. What we should be doing about trade
Chapter 6: How do tariffs affect the affordability crisis in America?
is urging the president to renew USMCA with Canada and Mexico, which is under review for its five-year review this summer. It's a very important trade arrangement for the three countries. Progress is being made in working with the Canadians and the Mexicans. So that's number one. It's not to be connected, in my judgment, to the vote last night, which is did the president have the right
Chapter 7: What bipartisan efforts are being made for economic policies?
to put tariffs on Canada under IEPA because of the fentanyl matter. You get my point. Let's stick with the big picture here, which is growing America's exports, growing America's influence, using tariffs as a tool to change trade behavior of other nations. Number one on that list, of course, is China.
Congressman, you mentioned USMCA. Our team down in Washington, I'm sure you're familiar with the work of Josh Wingrove, wrote just yesterday that the president is privately musing about exiting the North American trade pact. That, according to people familiar with the matter.
When you read a story like that, do you just consider that part of the negotiation for the upcoming negotiations or does that concern you?
Yeah, no, I do because of the way President Trump is responsible for dramatically improving the North American Free Trade Agreement from the 1992-1993 timeframe in creating USMCA in his first term, and it worked quite well.
But there's more to be done on Canadians on dairy or Canadians on softwood lumber or how the automotive business works back and forth between the two countries or now the role of IT. We live in an ever-changing economy with ever-changing priorities. But let's face the reality that 30% of GDP in my home state of Arkansas is connected to cross-border trade with Mexico and Canada.
So the agreement is important. And it's also important for you to note in that comment that President Trump has, you know, does not impose additional tariffs on USMCA compliant goods. So we are living by the agreement.
Congressman, there's a tradeoff here, and I think a lot of people would be sympathetic with the idea of trying to get certain trade partners to change behaviors and thinking particularly of China. On the other hand, there's a real affordability crisis, and this is a real issue for a whole host of representatives who are coming up for election later this year.
I just wonder how much influence you think that Republicans on the Hill have over President Trump's negotiations around tariffs to potentially either abstain from putting additional ones on or rolling some of the existing ones back.
Well, what you've seen him do is fine-tune the efforts with individual countries or regions like the EU, UK, Japan, for example. I want to see the consolidate the wins from those agreements that he's done over this first year in the first place.
