A key point: “Trump has been imposing tariffs under a national-security exemption, most of which are hard to justify. Congress, which the Constitution grants the power to regulate trade, has done nothing to curb Trump’s abuse of the national-security exemption.”

Members of Congress who believe in free trade, maintaining America’s alliances,and deterring Putin,have abdicated their responsibility.

I don’t fault Republican Members of Congress for backing Trump when he does something they like. Of course they should vote for things they support. But many of them don’t like protectionism, and POTUS is abusing power to implement it. Abdicating responsibility indeed.
