The Senate rejected a resolution aimed at undoing President Trump's wide-ranging tariffs on most U.S. trading partners. The vote, which deadlocked at 49-49, displayed the tensions within the GOP as three Republican senators sided with Democrats. Despite these defections, critical absences from proponents of the resolution sealed its failure. Concurrently, President Trump criticized the economic downturn in the U.S. during a speech, attempting to divert blame onto President Biden. Other notable developments included Trump consolidating a real estate deal in the Middle East and immigration proceedings involving a deported Salvadoran immigrant.
The Senate's decision to reject the resolution against Trump's tariffs underscores the ongoing division within the GOP and raises concerns about the potential economic impact of such policies.
Despite a strong push from some Republicans to challenge Trump's trade policy, the vote deadlocked at 49-49, indicating a stalemate that fails to address underlying economic anxieties.
