U.S. Senate votes to block Trump’s Canadian tariffs in rebuke to his trade agenda

April 2, 2025
A bipartisan coalition of U.S. senators voted in favour of ending the state of emergency that allows the Trump administration to unilaterally impose tariffs on Canadian goods, arguing that the White House overreached by targeting its northern neighbour.The vote is the most significant Republican rebuke of the Trump administration’s second term, with four Republicans – Kentucky senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, as well as Lisa Murkowski, of Alaska, and Susan Collins, of Maine – breaking rank. The vote passed 51 to 48. The win is largely symbolic because it’s unlikely to have any practical effect in Congress. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives has pledged not to intervene in Mr. Trump’s tariff agenda, and the president has veto power that can only be overridden by a two-thirds majority vote in each chamber. The fate of the resolution was unclear until votes were tallied late Wednesday evening.
