Vote To Reverse Tariffs On Canada Testing Republicans

WASHINGTON (AP) — With President Donald Trump’s so-called “Liberation Day” of tariff implementation fast approaching, Senate Democrats are putting Republican support for some of those plans to the test by forcing a vote to nullify the emergency declaration that underpins the tariffs on Canada. Republicans have watched with some unease as the president’s attempts to remake global trade have sent the stock market on downward swings. But they have so far stood by Trump’s threats to levy taxes on imported goods. A resolution from Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine offers them a potential off-ramp to the tariffs levied on Canadian imports. But Republican leadership is trying to keep senators in line.
