US EditionFour GOP senators side with Democrats on resolution to end Trump’s global tariffs
- On Thursday, the United States Senate approved a resolution to block President Donald Trump's global tariffs in a 51 to 47 vote amid economic concerns.
- Using an emergency-powers provision, Democrats secured the vote by bypassing Senate GOP leadership under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, avoiding the usual 60-vote threshold after Trump declared a national emergency in April citing `structural imbalances in the global trading system`.
- Senators on Tuesday and Wednesday moved to block specific tariffs, approving resolutions to block Trump’s tariffs on Brazil and Canada with Republicans including Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski joining Democrats.
- The resolution's immediate effect is limited because the Republican-controlled House has refused to take it up, while the Supreme Court will hear arguments next week on the emergency power's legality.
- Against a backdrop of shifting China policy, Trump announced tariff cuts on Beijing after meeting Xi Jinping and set a 10% minimum baseline tariff called `Liberation Day`.
