Trump is in force to blame Trump over the tariffs



Cnn

A cross -party attempt to blame President Donald Trump about his trade policy was completed in the Senate on Wednesday under two important absences in the chamber.

With 49-49, the Senate voted for the rejection of the resolutions that would have effectively blocked the global tariffs of the President by revoking the emergency regulations that Trump used to issue them. GOP Senator Mitch McConnell, who previously criticized the President's collective bargaining policy, and the democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse were ready to support the resolution, but were not present to coordinate.

The majority leader of the Senate, John Thune, applied for killing all efforts in order to bring the resolution again.

Even if it had been accepted, the resolution was dead on arrival in the house, where spokesman Mike Johnson was a provision in the beginning of this year in order to prohibit testing the measure by September 30th.

A number of republicans – including Sens. Rand Paul, who gave the resolution, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, had previously expressed support for the resolution. However, the backers of the efforts confronted a number of absences in the chamber and could not pull the necessary votes together on Wednesday.

The Senate changed at the beginning of this month to symbolically condemn the tariffs of Trump in Canada, and the Republicans of the Republicans used the same procedural tactics to ensure that the solution could not be taken into account in their chamber.

In view of the criticism of the congress, the president was defiantly defiant and had previously sworn that if necessary, such a solution to Veto had a veto.
