In a rare bipartisan move, four Republican senators joined Democrats to pass a resolution opposing President Trump’s tariffs
on Canada.
The 51-48 vote aims to end the emergency declaration Trump used to justify the tariffs, which critics say
are based on a 'made-up emergency' about fentanyl at the northern border.
While the House is unlikely to act, the vote signals growing discomfort with Trump’s trade war.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney promised to respond 'with purpose and with force' to Trump’s tariffs, which he
says will hurt millions.
While Canada was spared from new 'reciprocal' tariffs, existing levies on steel, aluminum, and autos remain.
Carney is meeting with provincial leaders to plan countermeasures, and the tariffs have become a central issue in
Canada’s upcoming election.
Trump’s trade war has flipped Canada’s political landscape.
The Liberal Party, once trailing, is now leading in polls as Carney positions himself as the defender of
Canadian sovereignty.
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is also proposing a tough stance, including renegotiating trade deals and building an 'economic
fortress.' Trump’s actions have become the defining issue of the campaign.
Trump’s 'Liberation Day' tariffs target 60 countries and impose a 10% baseline tax on all imports.
While Canada avoided the new list, the global trade war is escalating.
Economists warn of rising prices and economic instability.
Trump claims the tariffs will fund tax cuts, but critics say they’re a tax on American families.
