Republican U.S. Representative Brian Steil faced a hostile crowd during a recent 'listening session' in Wisconsin, where attendees questioned him about President Trump's trade tariffs and other pressing issues. The tariffs, affecting countries like India, Brazil, Canada, and Switzerland, have sparked debates over their economic impact.

One audience member criticized the tariffs as a 'terrible tax' on U.S. citizens. Steil responded that the intent is to ensure fair treatment for the United States. Meanwhile, the session highlighted tensions as Democrats aim to overturn the Republican majority in the House of Representatives in the upcoming elections.

Steil defended the White House's policies on various fronts, including issues in Gaza and immigration. While Trump has acknowledged the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the focus remains on legislative achievements, such as tax cuts. The political landscape remains uncertain as lawmakers prepare for the next electoral cycle.
