Washington (CNN) Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa is suggesting she's not a fan of the expedited process President Donald Trump is deploying to impose steel and aluminum tariffs, adding to the growing tide of Republicans in Congress opposing the White House policy.

Trump tweeted about an event Thursday afternoon related to his planned tariffs , though hours before that meeting, it wasn't yet clear publicly what Trump was prepared to sign -- if anything -- during the afternoon confab.
