Washington — The Senate voted Wednesday to approve a resolution that would block President Trump's tariffs on Canada, a day after the chamber rebuked the president with another vote to block tariffs on Brazil. In a 50 to 46 vote, four Republicans joined Democrats to approve the measure, which would terminate the national emergency used to impose tariffs on some goods from Canada. Republican Sens.
Main Idea: The Senate approved a Democratic-led resolution to block President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada, but the move is unlikely to become law.
Key Points:
Trump’s Canada tariffs can raise prices for imported goods, and US businesses that rely on Canadian parts may face higher costs and supply delays.
Senate moves to block the tariffs could ease price pressure for consumers and help small businesses and workers tied to cross-border trade.
