US Senate votes to rescind Trump’s tariffs on Brazil

The US Senate voted 52–48 to approve a measure terminating Donald Trump’s tariffs on Brazilian imports, from coffee to beef, in a rare bipartisan rebuke of his trade war. Led by Sen. Tim Kaine, the resolution would overturn Trump’s national-emergency basis for the levies, but is expected to stall in the Republican-run House and would face a veto if it reached him. Kaine called tariffs a tax on Americans, while Republican Mitch McConnell said trade wars reliably harm the economy. A similar April effort on Canada drew four GOP votes; a later bid on “Liberation Day” tariffs failed.
