With 51 votes in favor and 47 against, the Senate decided to reject Trump's main trade policy with the support of Republican senators Rand Paul, Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski. The resolution followed two others passed this week to eliminate tariffs on goods from Canada and Brazil, respectively, which also had bipartisan support, underscoring the opposition of a few Republican senators to the Administration's aggressive use of tariffs. During the vote, Republican McConnell said that "tariffs make it more expensive to build and buy in the United States" and that "the economic damage of trade wars is not the exception, but the rule." The measure, like the other two passed this week, will ultimately be a symbolic act, as it now passes The bill is now awaiting a vote in the House of Representatives, where it has very little chance of passing, given the Republican majority. The global tariffs, called “reciprocal” by the Trump Administration, amounting to 10% against more than 100 nations, were activated on April 5th using emergency legislation, and that day was dubbed “Liberation Day.” Between that date and August, the US collected approximately $88 billion in tax revenue from tariffs, according to Customs and Border Protection.
