Tap title to read story
The US Senate narrowly failed to reject President Trump's tariffs, with a 49-49 vote. Three Republican senators joined Democrats in opposing the tariffs, citing economic concerns. The resolution was largely symbolic, lacking the support to overcome a likely veto. The vote came after the US economy shrank for the first time in three years, prompting debate about the impact of Trump's trade policies. While the resolution failed, senators argued it highlighted crucial questions regarding the economic consequences of the tariffs.
