U.S. Senate Ends Global Tariff Policy Amidst Legislative Hurdles

The U.S. Senate voted 51-47 in favor of terminating President Donald Trump’s global tariff policy, as reported by PANews. This move followed the approval of a resolution ending the national emergency declared by the president to implement tariffs worldwide. The Senate’s action also came after passing separate resolutions aimed at removing tariffs imposed on Canada and Brazil earlier this week. These resolutions require approval from the House of Representatives. However, previous attempts to overturn tariff legislation have been blocked by House Republicans, making a successful vote for these resolutions unlikely. Even if the House votes in favor, congressional overrides would be needed to pass the resolution due to the president’s potential veto power.
