Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley says serious talks are underway in the U-S Senate on trying to pass what President Trump calls “his big, beautiful bill” that includes many of his priorities.
“I think what we end up putting together will be similar to what passed the House of Representatives, but it won’t be exactly the same. But we’ve always got to be considering senators that whatever we change has to go back to the House. And we have to remember that the House passed it just by one vote margin. So it’s got to pass the House again, so that’s got to be part of our consideration. The process of putting that bill together is just starting now, after months and months of consideration and discussion. Hopefully, we put together a bill that can get to the President by July the 4th.”
RadioOnTheGo News asked Grassley his thoughts on the ongoing battle over tariffs.
“I know that there’s serious negotiations going on with 18 countries. 110 have indicated they’d like to negotiate with the United States. And these are big countries that we have a lot of trade with, England, all of Europe, Japan, South Korea, India, Indonesia, Argentina. And I think the best thing that the president could do, bring some certainty to the economy because all the talk about tariffs going up and going down and being delayed is uncertainty that hurts the economy. And by reaching agreements, I think that’ll do more good than anything else can. So we bring some certainty to the economy.”
That’s Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley of New Hartford.
