Senate Democrats seek carbon tax on imports from countries with high pollution
Fox News
Democrats have agreed to add a carbon tax on imports from polluting countries to their $3.5 trillion budget plan.
Some Democrats, including leading presidential primary contenders, were eager to criticize Donald Trump for using tariffs as a policy tool, in his case to try to even the economic playing field with China. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said that the carbon tariff, which has never been undertaken by any country, will be effective because it "prevents other countries from polluting."More Related News
