Democratic senators are poised to vote on a resolution aimed at blocking President Trump's tariffs on Canada, scheduled to commence this week. As Republicans in the House move to prevent any actions against these tariffs, the Senate's approval would send a strong bipartisan message against the president's trade initiatives. The tariffs, positioned as a response to a national security threat linked to drug trafficking, have faced criticism as Senator Tim Kaine calls the justification a 'made-up emergency,' specifically asserting that the crisis originates from other countries, notably Mexico and China.
The resolution aims to revoke Mr. Trump's emergency declaration, stopping tariffs set to take effect this week, and signaling bipartisan opposition to his trade policies.
Senator Tim Kaine stated that the tariffs were justified by a 'made-up emergency,' highlighting that the real drug trafficking issues stem from Mexico and China, not Canada.
