Republican lawmakers are saying that Americans are willing to endure higher prices as a trade-off for Donald Trump's policies, despite growing concerns over inflation.
Meanwhile, according to a Labor Department report, inflation is already hitting the economy, January seeing the largest consumer price increase in nearly 18 months.
"I think our constituents are going to do what it takes to get America back on track. We're tired of countries taking advantage of us," he said.
Representative Mark Alford of Missouri also chimed in, telling CNN that he is "all for" paying higher prices to "get America right again."
"We all have a role to play in this to rightsize our government, and if I have to pay a little bit more for something, I'm all for it to get America right again, to start whittling down" the debts, he said.
Asked if he thinks his constituents feel the same way about shouldering some of the costs, Alford said: "I think so."
Polls have suggested that Americans are divided over whether they approve of Trump's tariffs. A Reuters/Ipsos survey conducted between February 12 and 18 found 54 percent of respondents opposed new tariffs on imported goods from other countries, while 41 percent were in favor. Increasing tariffs on Chinese goods had higher levels of support, 49 percent in favor and 47 percent against. The poll questioned 4,145 U.S. adults nationwide and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
