Republican Senator Cruz questions Trump’s tariff warning, warns of potential midterm election defeat to Democrats

Cruz stated in a podcast program released on Friday that long-term trade tariffs will push up inflation and have a serious impact on the market. The related economic consequences may help the Democratic Party regain control of the House of Representatives and even potentially win a majority in the Senate, although the probability is small.
