Senate to Vote on Blocking Brazil Tariffs

Read, Watch or Listen

The Senate is set to vote Tuesday evening on Sen. Tim Kaine’s resolution to terminate the national emergency underpinning President Trump’s 50% tariffs on Brazilian goods. Kaine blasted the move as “unusual and extreme,” tying it to Brazil’s prosecution of Jair Bolsonaro, and vowed more votes on Canadian and global tariffs. The challenge, enabled under IEEPA, needs a simple majority but is largely symbolic with the House under GOP control. Republican support is uncertain: Vice President JD Vance urged backing for tariffs, while Sen. Thom Tillis called the push a messaging exercise but is weighing support.
