President Trump’s proposal to send Americans $2,000 tariff rebate checks is meeting broad resistance from Senate Republicans.

Many GOP senators argue the plan would require congressional approval and say tariff revenues should instead be used to pay down the national debt.

Leaders like John Thune and Shelley Moore Capito emphasized deficit reduction, while others, including John Kennedy, questioned the legality of issuing checks without Congress.

Some Republicans also warned the payments could be inflationary, even if they might help lower-income Americans, Axios has reported.

Overall, GOP senators—from leadership to pro-Trump newcomers—have shown little enthusiasm for the idea.
