Jeff Flake threatens bill to nullify Trump's tariffs

Jeff Flake opposes Trump's tariffs?....Well.....Now we know Trump is 100% correct.....again.
 
I see it as an uphill battle. I guess Flake is counting on the fact that a whole lot more industry and jobs are reliant on buying steel and aluminum than making it. If tariffs increase the cost of US goods to extent it puts American made products at a disadvantage, there might be a chance to over-ride a veto. Manufacturing of finished goods takes place across the country, I doubt steel and aluminum companies have as great an influence upon politicians.
