WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate was voting Tuesday evening on legislation that would nullify President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Brazil, including oil, coffee and orange juice, as Democrats tested GOP senators’ support for Trump’s trade policy.
The legislation from Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, a Democrat, would terminate the national emergencies that Trump has declared to justify the tariffs. He’s planning to call up similar resolutions applying to Trump’s tariffs on Canada and other nations later this week.
The legislation is likely doomed because the Republican-controlled House has passed new rules that allow leadership to prevent it from ever coming up for a vote. And Trump would almost certainly veto the legislation even if it were to pass Congress.
Still, Kaine sai
