US Senate Vote LIVE: Some Republicans Plan To Rebuke Trump’s Tariffs on his ‘Liberation Day’ | N18G

USA LIVE: Senate Democrats Force Vote To Block Canada Tariffs as Trump Puts Pressure on GOP | CNBC TV18
A pivotal group of Senate Republicans is set to deliver a symbolic rebuke to President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canadian products as he escalated his broader trade war on Wednesday.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, earlier Wednesday became the latest Republican to support a Democratic resolution to block Trump’s Canadian tariffs. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has also backed the measure, and Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, is expected to as well. And the lead author of the resolution, Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told him he would vote for it as well. Support from those four Republicans would give the proposal enough votes to pass in the Senate if all 47 Democrats also vote in favor.
A key Senate Democrat projected confidence Wednesday that the chamber will rebuke President Donald Trump’s tariff policy with support from some Republicans in an expected evening vote.
The move would amount to rare bipartisan pushback against Trump in the GOP-led Senate and comes on the same day the president is set to make a major announcement on tariffs.
Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine is leading the effort to force the Senate vote on blocking tariffs from the Trump administration on Canadian imports. Trump has criticized the measure and urged Republicans to vote against it.
One Republican — Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky — is cosponsoring the resolution and others have either said they plan to back it or are open to backing it, due to concerns about how tariffs will affect their constituents.
