Senate Rebukes Trump on Canada Tariffs Amid Rising Trade Tensions

In a rare bipartisan move, the U.S.

Senate voted 51-48 to end President Trump's emergency declaration that enabled tariffs on Canadian goods.

Four Republicans—Rand Paul, Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski—joined Democrats, calling the tariffs unconstitutional and harmful to

American families.

Senator Paul declared, 'Taxation without representation is tyranny,' slamming the president’s unilateral action.

President Trump fired back on Truth Social, accusing the four GOP senators of disloyalty and siding with Democrats.

He insisted the tariffs are necessary to combat fentanyl trafficking from Canada, despite data showing minimal fentanyl seizures

at the northern border.

Trump warned, 'They are playing with the lives of the American people.' Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney promised

to respond 'with purpose and with force' to the tariffs, calling them a direct threat to millions of

Canadians.

While Canada was spared from new 'reciprocal tariffs,' existing levies on steel, aluminum, and autos remain.

Carney warned the tariffs could 'fundamentally change the international trading system.' Trump’s tariffs have become a central issue

in Canada’s snap election.

Carney’s Liberals surged in polls, framing the vote as a fight for sovereignty.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre unveiled his own plan to renegotiate trade and build an 'economic fortress,' but critics

say Trump prefers dealing with Carney.

The U.S.-Canada trade battle is just heating up, with major implications for both economies and upcoming elections.
