Flake to introduce bill to nullify Trump's tariffs
By Jordain Carney - 03/08/18 04:13 PM EST

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) said on Thursday that he will introduce legislation to nix President Trump's tariffs on steel and aluminum imports just minutes after they were announced.

"I will immediately draft and introduce legislation to nullify these tariffs, and I urge my colleagues to pass it before this exercise in protectionism inflicts any more damage on the economy," Flake said in a statement.

Trump announced that he would levy the penalties — a 25 percent tariff for steel and 10 percent on aluminum — during a White House event. Canada and Mexico are exempted amid larger trade negotiations, Trump said.

But the decision is expected to spark widespread backlash from Capitol Hill.

Flake is so desperate to be relevant.  The Brian Dunkleman of politics.

I'm sure Trump will sign it the moment it hits his desk.
