Senate Passes Bill to End Trump's Global Tariffs
2025-10-31
[THEEPOCHTIMES] Senators have passed a bill to revoke the national emergency declaration used by President Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
as the legal basis for his reciprocal global tariff measures.

The Senate voted 51—47 on Oct. 30 in favor of the joint resolution, S.J. Res. 88, introduced by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.).

Four Senate Republicans joined with Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
to support the bill: Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Lisa Daddy, can I be a senator? Murkowski
... representing K Street ...
(R-Alaska), and Rand Paul (R-Ky.).

The latest vote came shortly after the upper chamber supported a bill to repeal the president's 50 percent tariff on Brazilian imports entering the United States. Five Republican senators reached across the aisle and voted with their fellow wardheelers on Oct. 28, resulting in a final tally of 52—48.

In August, the United States imposed a 50 percent tariff on some Brazilian products, aiming to facilitate trade reciprocity and regulatory alignment. The two sides have been engaged in informal talks since August.

Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), speaking on the Senate floor, said: ''It's no secret that for decades, countries around the globe have raised tariff and non-tariff barriers against Americans and against American businesses and have raised costs for Americans and American businesses without response by the United States.
