The Senate passed a resolution Wednesday to end the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump on Canada.

Four Republican senators joined Democrats in criticizing the administration's trade policies, a day after they voted to eliminate tariffs on Brazil.

Senators Rand Paul, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and former Republican leader Mitch McConnell voted against the Democrats, with a result of 50 to 46. All of them had previously voted against tariffs on Canada in April. The resolution only required a simple majority for its approval.

The resolution seeks to end the tariffs on Canada by revoking the president's emergency declaration and must go to a vote in the House of Representatives.

Tensions between the two countries have intensified since August when Trump raised tariffs on Canada to 35%, although this was mitigated by the effect of the USMCA trade agreement, which protects various products.

Tensions reached a peak this weekend when the Republican decided to increase tariffs by an additional 10%, harshly criticizing Canadians for a protest ad against US customs policies issued by the province of Ontario that used quotes from former President Ronald Reagan.

The United States and Canada share a broad trade relationship that includes the export of crude oil, natural gas, electricity, vehicles, aircraft, and a wide range of industrial machinery.
