The Senate passed a resolution Wednesday night that would thwart President Donald Trump맥스카지노�s ability to impose tariffs on Canada, delivering him a rare rebuke just hours after the president unveiled sweeping plans to clamp down on international trade.The Senate resolution, passed by a 51-48 vote tally, would end Trump맥스카지노�s emergency declaration on fentanyl that underpins tariffs on Canada. Trump earlier Wednesday announced orders 맥스카지노� his so-called 맥스카지노�Liberation Day맥스카지노� 맥스카지노� to impose import taxes on a slew of international trading partners, though Canadian imports for now were spared from new taxes.The Senate맥스카지노�s legislation ultimately has little chance of passing the Republican-controlled House and being signed by Trump, but it showed the limits of Republican support for Trump맥스카지노�s vision of remaking the U.S. economy by restricting free trade. Many economists are warning that the plan could cause an economic contraction, and GOP senators are already watching with unease as Trump upends the United States맥스카지노� relationship with the rest of the world.Trump earlier Wednesday singled out the four Republicans 맥스카지노� Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Rand Paul of Kentucky 맥스카지노� who voted in favor of the resolution.In a social media post just before 1 a.m. Wednesday, Trump said the four 맥스카지노�will hopefully get on the Republican bandwagon, for a change, and fight the Democrats wild and flagrant push to not penalize Canada for the sale, into our Country, of large amounts of Fentanyl.맥스카지노�To justify the tariffs, Trump has argued that Canada is not doing enough to stop illegal drugs from entering the northern border. Customs and Border Protection seized 43 pounds of fentanyl in its northern border sector during the 2024 fiscal year, and since January, authorities have seized less than 1.5 pounds, according to federal data. Meanwhile, at the southern border, authorities seized over 21,000 pounds last year.맥스카지노�This is not about fentanyl. It맥스카지노�s about tariffs. It맥스카지노�s about a national sales tax on American families,맥스카지노� Sen. Tim Kaine, the Virginia Democrat who initiated the resolution, said at at news conference Wednesday.Democrats argued that Trump is using the tariffs to pay for tax cuts that would benefit the wealthy, but will make it more expensive to build homes, disrupt industries and raise prices on imported grocery products. Kaine pointed to aluminum imported from Canada that is used by businesses ranging from pie makers to shipbuilders.맥스카지노�Today, Donald Trump takes a sledgehammer to the American economy and even to the American dream,맥스카지노� Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said in a floor speech.On the heels of election results in Wisconsin and Florida that delivered early warning signs to Republicans about the popularity of Trump's agenda, Schumer said that Trump is particularly vulnerable when it comes to the economy.맥스카지노�Once the American people say, 맥스카지노�I don맥스카지노�t want to embrace somebody, I don맥스카지노�t want to vote for somebody, I don맥스카지노�t want to support somebody who embraces Trump맥스카지노�s policies,맥스카지노� things are going to change," he told reporters. 맥스카지노�Public sentiment is everything."At the White House Wednesday, Trump singled out Canada as a beneficiary of 맥스카지노�unfair맥스카지노� trading practices with the U.S., though his latest order did not add to tariffs already in place on Canada and Mexico.맥스카지노�Why are we doing this? I mean, at what point do we say, 맥스카지노�You맥스카지노�ve got to work for yourselves and you맥스카지노�ve got to맥스카지노�? This is why we have the big deficits," Trump said.After Trump's announcement, Rep. Gregory Meeks, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said he would also force a similar vote in the House on the tariffs.맥스카지노�Republicans can맥스카지노�t keep ducking this 맥스카지노� it맥스카지노�s time they show whether they support the economic pain Trump is inflicting on their constituents,맥스카지노� he said on social media.For their part, Republican leaders tried to hold their members in line against the tariff resolution by emphasizing that Trump was acting to address fentanyl trafficking and border security.Majority Whip Sen. John Barrasso argued in a floor speech that former President Joe Biden had 맥스카지노�also thrown open the northern border. The criminal cartels noticed and they took advantage.맥스카지노�"There are unique threats to the United States at our northern border," the Wyoming senator said. 맥스카지노�President Trump is taking the bold, decisive, swift action that is necessary to secure that border as well.맥스카지노�Republicans lined up on the Senate floor Wednesday afternoon to underscore the need to act to halt fentanyl trafficking, including at the northern border. However, a key group of Senate Republicans also objected to the tariffs on Canada.In a floor speech Wednesday, Collins said she would support the resolution and noted, 맥스카지노�The fact is the vast majority of fentanyl in America comes from the southern border.맥스카지노� Collins said that Canada is already beefing up border security to address drug trafficking and that she was concerned what tariffs would do to businesses and households in Maine. She pointed to a paper mill in her home state that pumps paper pulp from Canada.맥스카지노�A tariff placed on this pulp would jeopardize the financial wellbeing of this vital paper mill, which employs more than 500 people in rural, northern Maine. There is not another big employer in that area that can possibly compensate for the loss of those 510 direct jobs,맥스카지노� Collins said.Paul, a Kentucky Republican who often supports libertarian economic views, also spoke in favor of the resolution, arguing that the president should not be given unilateral authority to impose taxes on imports.맥스카지노�Every dollar collected in tariff revenue comes straight out of the pockets of American consumers,맥스카지노� he said. 맥스카지노�Conservatives used to understand that tariffs are taxes on the American people. Conservatives used to be uniformly opposed to raising taxes because we wanted the private marketplace, the private individuals to keep more of their income.맥스카지노�While a younger group of Republicans closely aligned with Trump have spoken out in favor of the president's plans to aggressively reshape the economy, a sizeable portion of the Republican Conference voiced concerns about the tariff impacts on farmers and other industries. Still, most wanted to give Trump room to negotiate better trade deals.North Dakota Sen. Kevin Cramer said that he has been in constant talks with both Canadian officials and businesses in his state like Bobcat, which does a significant amount of its sales in Canada. He didn't support the resolution. Instead, he hoped that Trump's Wednesday announcement would just be a starting point for negotiations for the mutual dropping of tariffs.The Republican added: 맥스카지노�I맥스카지노�m not overly concerned about it, but obviously it occupies a lot of attention and time and a lot of political anxiety."___Associated Press writer Kevin Freking contributed reporting.
