Senate GOP leader warns against undoing tariffs
|
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) is warning his party not to join a Democratic-led effort to undo President Trump’s 25-percent tariff on Canadian imports.
|
Thune defended the emergency order as necessary to address the nation’s fentanyl crisis, particularly as the anti-tariff resolution is expected to pick up support from a few GOP senators.
The resolution, which is sponsored by Democratic Sens. Tim Kaine (Va.), Amy Klobuchar (Minn.) and Mark Warner (Va.) would call for undoing Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods.
It does not have the force of law, but it would be embarrassing to Trump if a significant number of Senate Republicans vote for the measure.
Trump on Tuesday took a swipe at Kaine over the effort and urged Republican senators to defeat the resolution.
“Sen. Tim Kaine, who ran against me with Crooked Hillary in 2016, is trying to halt our critical Tariffs on deadly Fentanyl coming in from Canada. We are making progress to end this terrible Fentanyl Crisis, but Republicans in the Senate MUST vote to keep the National Emergency in place, so we can finish the job, and end the scourge,” the president posted on Truth Social.
The Senate is expected to vote on the legislation later this week.

House demands steeper spending cuts from Senate
|
Welcome to Tax Watch, a new feature focused on the fight over tax reform and the push to extend the 2017 Trump tax cuts this year.
|
The Senate is looking to vote on a budget resolution for President Trump’s mainline tax cut and spending bill as soon as this week.
The Senate’s resolution has a much lower floor for budget cuts than the House version, which calls for $2 trillion in reduced spending.
Lawmakers in the House want the Senate to make steeper cuts.
Top appropriator Tom Cole (R-Okla.) said it was time for the Senate to “put up or shut up,” advocating for federal health care cuts that total nearly $1 trillion in the House budget resolution.
“We had a chance to repeal Obamacare, which the United States Senate couldn’t come up with the votes [to do] last time. This is the chance to finally do something on at least one of the mandatory programs,” he told reporters Tuesday.
“It’s time to put up or shut up if you’re serious about spending,” he added.
