Four Senate Republicans vote with Democrats in effort to end Trump tariffs on Canada
A bipartisan Senate majority voted 50-46 to end tariffs imposed under emergency powers, citing harm to U.S. consumers and farmers, despite likely House opposition.
- Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., advanced a bipartisan resolution Wednesday to terminate emergency tariff powers, with a small contingent of Senate Republicans joining Democrats to nullify U.S. tariffs on Canada.
- Under International Emergency Economic Powers Act in July, President Donald Trump imposed tariffs including 35% duties earlier this year and raised them 10% after an Ontario government ad used former President Ronald Reagan's audio.
- Rising duties have translated into higher prices for U.S. consumers and stress on multiple industries, with Sen. Mitch McConnell noting harm to Kentucky's nearly 70,000 family farms and bourbon producers.
- Despite Senate action, leaders warn the resolutions may not survive the House or a veto, as House Republicans block votes and President Donald Trump could veto the tariff terminations.
- Vice President JD Vance lobbied Republicans at a closed-door luncheon, with Sen. Tim Kaine saying, `The vice president came up yesterday to try to corral Republicans at their lunch` as the vote occurred during Asia trade talks.
