Senate passes bipartisan resolution to try to block Trump’s Canada tariffs

The Senate passed a resolution on Wednesday aiming to block President Trump from imposing tariffs on Canadian goods. 

The measure cleared the upper chamber in a 51-48 vote, with a handful of Republicans joining all Democrats in support of the resolution, which seeks to terminate the national emergency on fentanyl smuggling that Trump declared in February and is using to impose sweeping levies on imports from north of the border. 

Republican Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) voted in favor of passing the measure.
