US EditionDivided US Senate rejects latest bid to overturn Trump tariffs
- The U.S. Senate rejected a bipartisan resolution to overturn President Trump's global tariffs in a 49-49 tie vote on Wednesday.
- The resolution sought to end a national emergency Trump declared to justify 10% tariffs on nearly all imports amid escalating trade tensions.
- Three Republican senators—Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and Rand Paul—joined Democrats to support the resolution, challenging their party's majority stance.
- According to government data, the U.S. Economy shrank at an annualized rate of 0.3% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its first contraction in three years amid ongoing disruptions caused by tariff-related trade tensions.
- Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Republicans blocked further votes on the measure, ensuring the tariffs remain despite economic concerns and bipartisan opposition.
