President Donald Trump's aggressive new tariff plan has triggered a rare bipartisan pushback in Congress, with both Republicans and Democrats seeking to limit his trade powers. The tariffs, which include a blanket 10% levy on all countries and steeper rates for nations like China and Taiwan, have rattled global markets and caused major stock declines, including a sharp drop in Apple shares. Critics from both sides of the political spectrum argue the tariffs could further damage an already fragile U.S. economy. Despite the backlash and market volatility, Trump insists the rollout is going 'very well.' The political fallout could isolate the president as economic concerns mount ahead of the next election cycle.
