Senate Republicans face three critical votes aimed at overturning Trump&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-builds-on-predecessors-efforts-in-grabbing-power-for-the-executive-branch\/\" title=\"Biden expands executive branch&#039;s power, following predecessors&#039; lead.\">national emergency declarations<\/a> that enabled tariffs on Canada, Brazil, and a 10% global baseline tariff on U.S. trading partners. These votes, supported by some Republicans alongside Democrats, seek to end these tariffs but are largely symbolic because House rules prevent forced votes on tariffs there. The Supreme Court is also reviewing the legality of Trump&#8217;s global tariffs following a lower court decision striking them down. Some Republicans, including Senator Lisa Murkowski, have sided with Democrats in challenging the tariffs&#8217; legality, arguing only Congress has authority to impose such taxes. The article also notes recent tensions with Canada after Trump increased tariffs following a controversial anti-tariff ad. The Brazil tariffs, currently at 50%, face opposition related to political issues involving ex-President Jair Bolsonaro. Senate discussions and votes are expected soon,highlighting divisions within the GOP on trade and tariff policy.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Senate Democrats reignite GOP tariff fight as Supreme Court weighs legality<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2385061\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Senate Republicans are set to face their latest unity test this week on President Donald Trump&rsquo;s <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tariffs\/\">tariffs<\/a> and import taxes, which have <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3437317\/republicans-dismiss-white-house-trump-tariffs-pay-tax-bill\/\">created heartburn<\/a> for GOP lawmakers since the White House imposed them earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>The GOP-controlled chamber will hold three separate votes later this week, forced by Democrats and backed by a handful of Republicans, to terminate the national emergency declarations Trump has used to place tariffs against <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/119th-congress\/senate-joint-resolution\/77\">Canada<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/119th-congress\/senate-joint-resolution\/81\">Brazil<\/a>, as well as a 10% <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/119th-congress\/senate-joint-resolution\/88\">global baseline<\/a> he has set for United States trading partners.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3864920\/upcoming-deadlines-government-shutdown-snap-funding-cuts\/\">Four key funding cliffs near as government shutdown continues with no deal in sight<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3864745\/lindsey-graham-house-democrats-see-what-they-are-doing-us-government-shutdown\/\">Lindsey Graham suggests House Democrats &#8216;see what they are doing&#8217; to US during shutdown<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3864218\/bernie-sanders-blasts-establishment-backs-aoc-2028\/\">Bernie Sanders blasts establishment candidates, backs AOC for 2028<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Vice President JD Vance will attend the Senate Republicans&rsquo; weekly lunch meeting on Tuesday to discuss the tariff votes, which could come as early as Wednesday, according to a source familiar with the matter. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The votes only require simple majorities to pass and are likely to present the latest rebuke of the president&rsquo;s tariff policies by members of his own party, as Republicans have traditionally upheld principles of free trade. However, they will be little more than symbolic gestures. House Republicans rewrote chamber rules earlier this year to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >prevent forced floor votes<\/a> regarding Trump&rsquo;s tariffs using what are known as privileged resolutions.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Americans will see if Republicans put Donald Trump or average families first,&rdquo; Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/thune-keeps-conservative-critics-at-bay-with-focus-on-trump-agenda-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Thune keeps conservative critics at bay with focus on Trump agenda - Washington Examiner\">recent floor remarks<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The trio of votes will occur before the Supreme Court weighs whether to invalidate a lower court&rsquo;s decision to strike down the president&rsquo;s global tariffs. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) was the lone Republican to sign on to an <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/punchbowl.news\/24-1287-25-150-amicus-brief\/?utm_source=Sailthru&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=10\/27\/25%20%20AM:&amp;utm_term=Punchbowl%20AM%20and%20Active%20Subscribers%20from%20Memberful%20Combined\">amicus brief<\/a> supporting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/scotus-to-hear-appeal-over-ky-abortion-law\/\" title=\"SCOTUS to hear appeal over Ky. abortion law\">lower court ruling<\/a>, along with more than 200 Democrats from the House and Senate.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The President&rsquo;s imposition of tariffs under [the International Emergency Economic Powers Act] is unlawful,&rdquo; the members state in the brief. &ldquo;Only Congress has the power to &lsquo;lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises,&rsquo;&hellip; and to &lsquo;regulate Commerce with foreign Nations.&rsquo;&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The measure to overturn Trump&rsquo;s Canada tariffs passed the Senate in April with bipartisan support from all Democrats and Republicans, Mitch McConnell&nbsp;(R-KY),&nbsp;Rand Paul&nbsp;(R-KY),&nbsp;Susan Collins&nbsp;(R-ME), and Murkowski. A vote to roll back the global tariffs failed later that same month because of absences from two supporters of the resolution: McConnell and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI).<\/p>\n<p>Trump recently halted trade talks with Canada and hiked their tariff rate by an additional 10%, on top of their 35% rate, over an anti-tariff ad from Ontario officials using soundbites from former President Ronald Reagan. However, most Canadian goods were already exempt under the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3864238\/trump-increases-tariff-canada-reagan-ad-re-airs\/\">TRUMP INCREASES TARIFF ON CANADA AFTER REAGAN AD RE-AIRS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now,&rdquo; Trump posted to Truth Social over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Toppling Brazil&rsquo;s tariffs, currently at 50%, is novel to the Senate but has support from GOP co-sponsors Paul, Collins, and Murkowski. The tariff was apparently imposed due to the country&rsquo;s prosecution of Trump ally and former President Jair Bolsonaro, though hopes of a trade deal to reduce the duties were revived this week following a meeting between Trump and Brazil&rsquo;s leader.<\/p>\n<p><em>David Sivak contributed to this report.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senate Dems renew GOP tariff clash amid Supreme Court review<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3108,"featured_media":2503725,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/071525_PITTSBURGH_ENERGY_SUMMIT_TRUMP-4.webp?w=696","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651,538],"tags":[6203,33741,3740,32275,50406],"class_list":["post-2503723","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","category-washington-examiner","tag-gop","tag-legality","tag-senate","tag-supreme-court","tag-tariffs-2"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/071525_PITTSBURGH_ENERGY_SUMMIT_TRUMP-4.webp?w=696","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2503723","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3108"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2503723"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2503723\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2503727,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2503723\/revisions\/2503727"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2503725"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2503723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2503723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2503723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
