Senate votes to end Trump tariffs on Canada with bipartisan support

The Senate on Wednesday night voted to end tariffs that President Donald Trump placed on Canada earlier this year, by ending the national emergency declaration that put the tariffs in place.

The Senate passed the Democratic-led resolution in a 50-46 vote, which saw Republican Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine and former Senate Leader Mitch McConnell vote with Democrats.

The vote comes after Trump ended trade talks with Canada last week after Ontario ran a controversial ad that featured a recording of a speech by Republican former President Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs on foreign goods.

The Senate also repealed tariffs on Brazil on Tuesday in a 52-48 split, by ending the emergency declaration that allowed them to be enacted in the first place.

Despite the Senate's votes, the same moves are not expected to pass the House, which would also need to repeal the declarations in order to end the tariffs and Trump would need to sign them, according to ABC News.
