Following the Republican-controlled Senate’s rebuke of his tariffs , President Donald Trump appears to be losing leverage in trying to get some Senate GOP detractors to comply with his agenda.

On Tuesday, Sens. Rand Paul (R-KY), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Susan Collins (R-ME), and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) joined Democrats in opposing Trump’s national emergency declaration to impose a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports. The tariff was meant as a response to Brazil’s trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro , an ally of Trump.
