Senate to vote on a measure to undo Trump's global tariffs

Washington – The Senate will probably be a decision on Wednesday that would reverse the comprehensive tariffs that President Donald Trump imposed in the early this month.

Sens. Ron Wyden, D-ORE., And Rand Paul, R-Ky. The resolution requires a simple majority to survive in the Senate, where the Republicans have a majority of 53-47.

If the measure passes to the Senate, it is most likely not absorbed or coordinated in the GOP-guided house. The Republicans there recently voted to add the legislators to a hurdle that quickly want to resolutions in connection with Trump's tariff authority. And the White House said on Tuesday that Trump would get into the resolution if it reached his desk.

In a 51-48 vote in early April, the Senate approved a similar but limited resolution that would only block the US tariffs on Canada. Four Republicans voted the Democrats to vote for it: Sens. Mitch McConnell and Paul von Kentucky; Susan Collins from Maine; and Lisa Murkowski from Alaska.

The majority leader of the Senate, John Thune, Rs.d., and Paul said they expect the same Republicans who have supported the previous resolution to support the new one.

“The last time they had the voices, so we'll see,” said Thune. “My expectation is that it could be similar what the number of votes is.”

Paul said he thinks there is “growing dissatisfaction” about Trump's tariff regime. On the day on which most of the beginning of this month came into force, Trump Abrupt announced that he would pause for most countries for 90 days to enable negotiations. In the meantime, Trump increased tariffs in China to 145%.

The expected coordination takes place on the same day when the trade department found that the US economy commissioned 0.3% in the first quarter of the year, a development that Trump and officials from the White House tried to downplay. In response, the President told the public that he should be “patient !!!” In a contribution about the truth of social.

The Trump administration officers have repeatedly claimed in the past few days that they have made progress in negotiations to achieve trade agreements with some countries that had higher US tariffs. However, you have not announced any details and answered questions about when exactly announcements could be made about agreements.

The US sales representative Jamieson Greer told the Senate Republicans at the Capitol Hill on Tuesday that the countries are calling him up to negotiate trade agreements and that he will be “optimistic” that they will rule several of them in the next few weeks, according to two senators who took part in the meeting with Greer and Vice President JD Vance.

“He said many countries are now ready, theirs are not important, which are quite significant,” said Senator Josh Hawley, R-Mo.

The Senate GOP Whip John Barrasso, R-Wyo.

“You know that it will not be going anywhere, you know that it will not be a law,” Barrasso told NBC News on Tuesday. “They only try to slow down the process and prevent us from confirming and preventing more members of the president's management team.”

Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-iowa, and Maria Cantwell, R-Wash.

“I think the only thing that prevents us from getting bigger is that the type of Grassley Bill is a process for people who symbolically want to resist the tariffs, but in reality they do not want to stop them,” said Paul. “And maybe you want, but you are not ready to choose to stop them.”

Senator Thom Tillis, Rn.C., who will be exposed to a hard re -election race next year, said that he continues to work with Grassley on his legislation, but would not support Paul and Wyden's measure.

“It's a political exercise,” said Tillis. “It has no hope in the house and I don't do any news bills.”
