Democrats force Senate vote to block Trump's tariffs on Brazil

The Senate voted 52-48 to nullify President Donald Trump’s 50% tariffs on Brazil, with five Republicans joining Democrats in a resolution led by Sen. Tim Kaine. The measure, targeting levies on oil, coffee and orange juice, is unlikely to advance because House rules can block a vote, and Trump would likely veto it. Kaine plans similar challenges on tariffs against Canada and others. Vice President JD Vance urged Republicans to preserve Trump’s leverage, as a looming Supreme Court case and CBO warnings sharpen the debate.
