The Senate, despite its Republican majority, passed a resolution to repeal President Donald Trump’s Brazil tariffs and will vote Wednesday on a similar move targeting Canada. The measures, led by a bipartisan group including Rand Paul and Democratic senators, would unwind Trump’s emergency declarations and lift the levies. Several Republicans — Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Mitch McConnell and Thom Tillis — joined Democrats on the Brazil vote. But prospects are dim: House action is considered unlikely, and Trump is expected to reject a repeal. At a closed-door GOP lunch, Vice President JD Vance urged Republicans to oppose the effort.
