Sen. Rand Paul (RKy.) says he hasn't had a single business person or individual in his state come up to him and say tariffs are a good idea.

Paul says tariffs will negatively impact businesses in his home state, including bourbon distillers, home builders and real estate agents.

Paul is urging the president to listen to the many, many businesses that will suffer because tariffs drive up operating costs.
