Four Republicans supported the text of opposition to 25% additional tariffs in Canada, joining their voices with the Democrats
A handful of Republican Senators (Senators) opposed President Donald Trump yesterday and joined the Democrats, adopting a measuring measure of the additional 25% customs customs duties imported from Canada. The vote was carried out in the Senate for a short time after the US president announced a storm of additional customs duties in products imported to the US from all over the world.
With 51 votes against 48, the Senate rejected the national emergency declared on the border by President Trump, the argument he cited for the imposition of 25% additional duties on Canadian products imported to the US.
Four Republicans supported the text – with symbolic value And only – uniting their voices with those of the whole Democratic Parliamentary Group.
The 4 Republican senators who expressed their dissatisfaction with President Trump were: Susan Colin, Lisa Murkovsky. Rand Paul and Mich McConcone.

In practice, no chance of becoming a law. It is, however, a defeat at the level of symbolism for President Trump in Congress, although the Republican Party controls both bodies and the head of state has met only resistance after returning to the White House on January 20th.
To make the text, the text would require his approval by the other body of the Federal Congress, where Mike Johnson, the Republican “Speaker” of the House of Representatives, has already made it clear that he will prevent it, and the signature of the President, who is excluded.
“The House will never approve of it, too, your president, I will never sign it,” Donald Trump via Truth Social, complaining, denouncing the “trick” of the Democrats.
