Democrats Plan to Force Senate Vote on Trump’s Tariffs on Canada and Brazil

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine is planning to force two Senate votes on President Donald Trump’s tariffs in the coming weeks, keeping the pressure on his Republican colleagues as many of them have voiced frustration with the policies. The Virginia senator says he will introduce two separate resolutions this week that would terminate the national emergencies that Trump declared to justify the tariffs he has imposed on Canada and Brazil. In April, four Republicans voted with Democrats to block Trump’s tariffs on Canada, but the House never took it up.
