On April 8, according to US media Politico, U.S. House Speaker Johnson said on Monday that even if some Republican lawmakers publicly beg Trump to negotiate a way to lift tariffs before the tariffs take effect on Wednesday, the House of Representatives will still provide "space" for Trump to implement his large-scale global tariff system.

"We will give him the space necessary to implement policies and see how things will go," Johnson said. The speaker went on to say that Trump is "actively involved and trying to solve" the trade deficit. Oppositions within the Republican Party are presented in the form of a joint bipartisan legislation designed to reclaim Congress’s powers in tariffs from the president.

Previously, Democratic Senator Maria Cantwell and Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa proposed legislation to limit the president's unilateral tariffs. U.S. Rep. Don Bacon (R. Nebraska) plans to propose a House version of the legislation on Monday. Johnson on Monday refused to publicly promised to submit the revised Senate budget plan to the House for a vote this week due to strong opposition from a group of fiscal conservatives. However, some senior Republican aides said the current plan is to hold a final vote on Wednesday afternoon as originally planned.
