Trump’s “Liberation Day” Tariffs Just Faced a Stunning Senate Rebellion

In a dramatic twist, the U.S. Senate voted 51-48 to strike back against President Trump’s emergency tariffs on Canadian imports. With four Republican senators joining Democrats, this bipartisan move challenges the White House’s aggressive trade policies. Trump claimed the tariffs were about fighting fentanyl, but critics say it’s a hidden tax on American families.

Senators like Tim Kaine, Rand Paul, and Chuck Schumer are speaking out — warning of rising prices and economic fallout. Meanwhile, Trump is doubling down, promising to veto any resistance.

What does this mean for the economy, for U.S.-Canada relations, and for 2025? Watch the full breakdown of this high-stakes political showdown.
