Senate votes to repeal Trump's Canada tariffs

Senate votes to repeal Trump's Canada tariffs
 
Four Republican senators helped Democrats pass a resolution Wednesday that would effectively repeal President Trump's tariffs on Canada.

Why it matters: The vote shows how deeply concerned some Republicans are about Trump's tariff policies, just as he rolls out even steeper tariffs on U.S. imports.
 
The resolution, offered by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), would repeal the emergency declaration that allowed Trump to place tariffs on Canada. The White House has cited fentanyl flowing across the border as a reason for the declaration.

The vote is a victory for Democrats who have been banging the table against the tariff policies and pleading for their Republican colleagues to break ranks with Trump.

But the measure is likely dead on arrival in the GOP-controlled House.

The big picture: Democrats took advantage of a rare direct shot at the White House's agenda — and it paid off.

From the article….

This is going  be part of the Democrat’s  continuing strategy. They’ll also continue to put Musk front and center because it’s working

Assuming Trump continues with these tariffs, Republicans are going to be put under more pressure.

Agree...  and since this is a massive waste of time since resolution as 0% chance of house passage or over-riding veto.  Why did Thune even allow this to get to a floor vote?
