Sen. Thom Tillis , R-N.C., asked U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Tuesday “whose throat do I get to choke” if the Trump administration’s tariff plans are unsuccessful.

Tillis described his phrase as a concept from management consulting that means someone has to be accountable.

Some Republicans have defended the tariffs as a way to create leverage.
