Four Senate Republicans vote with Democrats in effort to end Trump tariffs on Canada
The Senate passed a resolution aimed at ending President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada, with four Republicans joining Democrats to rebuke the administration’s trade policies a day after they voted to terminate tariffs on Brazil.
Sens. Rand Paul, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins and former Republican Leader Mitch McConnell crossed the aisle to side with Democrats in the 50 to 46 vote. They all previously voted to block the Canada tariffs in April.
The resolution aims to end the tariffs by terminating an emergency declaration from the president.
The move, however, amounts to a symbolic rebuke of the president’s recent actions as it isn’t expected to be taken up by the House. Earlier this year, House Republicans moved to block members from being able to force a vote on the president’s tariffs in the near future.
