US EditionSenate approves bipartisan resolution to end tariffs on Brazil
- On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate approved a resolution to nullify President Donald Trump's tariffs on Brazil, covering oil, coffee and orange juice, and would end national emergencies justifying 50% tariffs.
- Senator Tim Kaine, Democrat, invoked a decades-old law to force votes letting Congress block a president's emergency powers, while lower courts have found most tariffs illegal, adding pressure.
- Republican senators including Susan Collins of Maine, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Thom Tillis of North Carolina voted with every Democrat, defying Vice President JD Vance's urging and following GOP defections in April.
- However, the measure faces immediate hurdles since the Republican-controlled House passed rules blocking its vote and President Donald Trump would almost certainly veto it.
- The Census Bureau reports a U.S. trade surplus with Brazil last year, while President Donald Trump linked tariffs to Brazil's policies and former President Jair Bolsonaro's prosecution, and Senator Tim Kaine framed votes as a response to repeated economic harm.
