US EditionDivided US Senate rejects latest bid to overturn Trump tariffs
- The U.S. Senate narrowly rejected a bipartisan resolution on Wednesday to block President Trump's global tariffs in a 49-49 tie vote broken by the vice president.
- The resolution aimed to revoke the national emergency order Trump used to impose 10% tariffs on most imports, following his April 2 announcement amid a trade war with major partners.
- Three Republicans—Rand Paul, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski—joined Democrats to support ending the tariffs while Senate leaders and many Republicans opposed the measure amid economic concerns.
- According to government data, the U.S. economy shrank at an annual rate of 0.3% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its first decline in three years and reflecting early impacts from tariff-related disruptions and increased expenses.
- The Senate vote allowed Trump’s tariffs to remain, reflecting ongoing skepticism in Congress and uncertainty for consumers and businesses facing higher prices and trade tensions.
