Republican congressmen are stuck in a bind. The economic damage from tariffs will hurt them in 2028, but preventing that damage will also hurt specifically the Republicans who defect - voters aren’t going to give them credit for a recession that didn’t happen, and Trump, paradoxically more powerful if his opposition prevents him from doing something unpopular, will destroy them in the primaries.

So the article is correct and tariffs won’t be stopped until enough of the Republican base opposes them. I’m not sure business could do anything before that point even if it was united, because lobbying politicians who either already agree in private or are fanatics isn’t very useful.
