(CNN) Senate Republicans, for months fearful of -- and outright opposed to -- President Donald Trump's actions on tariffs , now have a bill to tie his hands. It's something Corker acknowledged to reporters when he noted "doing anything up here is like pushing a major boulder uphill." Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch, who oversees trade policy and is deeply opposed to Trump's trade actions, said Corker "came off well" in his presentation. But he didn't close the door on an amendment vote in the defense policy bill. "We have a lot of tactics available to us," Toomey said of his leverage to force a vote on tariffs.
