Trump Threatens To Impose Risky Tariff Scheme Whether Congress Approves Or Not

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : I don't need Congress, but they'll approve it," Trump said at an agriculture-themed campaign stop in Smithton, Pennsylvania.
38% : Trump has consistently said he would impose a 10% tax on imports from most countries and has often threatened a higher tariff of up to 60% on goods from China, the world's second-largest economy.
29% : Though Trump has billed tariffs as a cost-free way to raise huge amounts of money for the government and punish countries perceived as uncooperative with the United States, economists have warned they could cause havoc for the economy, especially if they ignite a trade war with other big economic powers.
