Here’s something unexpected: Republicans who’ve been all-in on President Trump are now scratching their heads over some of his policy ideas. It’s creating a tricky situation as they try to move his plans through Congress.

At a private meeting with GOP senators before his inauguration, Trump brought up his passion for tariffs, even pulling out a piece of paper to show his calculations. But not everyone in the room was on board. Many lawmakers prefer focusing on slashing government spending and extending tax cuts, rather than diving into tariffs or lowering corporate tax rates.

This divide is making it harder for Republican leaders to craft a big legislative package that includes Trump’s key priorities—like tax cuts, spending reductions, and immigration reforms. The plan is to push it through as quickly as possible, even with Democrats likely to object.

This week, House Republicans are gathering in Miami for a retreat to discuss how to deliver on Trump’s “America First” agenda. The president is set to address them, and he’ll likely stress the need for loyalty. After all, Trump is known for holding grudges, and his supporters aren’t shy about pressuring anyone who steps out of line.

One thing’s clear: Republicans are in a tough spot. They want to support Trump, but some of his ideas are leaving them with more questions than answers. How this plays out could shape the future of his agenda—and the party itself.
