Trump has the ‘backbone’ to ‘right the ship,’ GOP senator insists

Sean Hannity Hosts Town Hall with Seven Republican Senators on Trump’s Trade Agenda and Tariffs

In a special Hannity town hall event, Fox News host Sean Hannity sat down with seven Republican senators to discuss President Donald Trump’s trade policies, the use of tariffs, and the impact of the reconciliation bill on American industry and national security.

The discussion centered around Trump’s America-first economic agenda, including his push to re-shore manufacturing, protect American farmers, and hold China accountable through targeted tariffs. The senators echoed support for economic independence, arguing that decades of outsourcing have left the U.S. vulnerable.

Key topics included:

• Tariffs as leverage to bring jobs back to the U.S.

• Ending reliance on China for critical materials

• How the reconciliation bill could influence budget negotiations and trade enforcement

• The role of energy production and steel manufacturing in national security

• The need for long-term infrastructure investment tied to domestic labor

Senators stressed that Trump's tariff strategy is not about isolation, but about restoring balance, sovereignty, and opportunity for American workers.
