The Senate voted 51-48 to symbolically block President Trump's tariffs on Canada after he announced new tariffs during his "Liberation Day" event. The resolution aims to terminate the national emergency that empowers Trump to impose these tariffs, but it is unlikely to pass in the House. Key Republican senators who supported the resolution highlighted the economic risks of tariffs, particularly regarding their states' strong trade ties with Canada, indicating a growing rift within the GOP over Trump's trade policies.
"Tariffs on Canada will threaten us with a recession," Paul told reporters on Wednesday. "I mean, it's a terrible, terrible idea."
"The Maine economy is integrated with Canada, our most important trading partner," Collins said. "The tariffs on Canada would be detrimental to many Maine families and our local economies."
