The Senate voted to retract the 25 percent definitions imposed by President Trump on Canadian goods – which is from the two parties, but it is largely symbolic, with four Republicans joining all Democrats in the Senate.
Work on a Joint Decision It came shortly after President Trump announced a 10 percent tariff for all imports coming to the United States.
The decision is not binding, and it is not expected that the Republicans in the House of Representatives will put the policy to vote. The draft law aims to end the emergency law called by an executive order signed by President Trump. The matter justifies the new tariff by saying that fentanel flows to the United States from the northern border, which raises a local national emergency.
The Republicans who joined the Democrats to agree to this procedure were Senator Suzan Collins from Min and Mitch McConnell from Kentucky and Lie Morkovsky from Alaska and Rand Ball from Kentucky.
Supporters of the Senate’s decision argued that this law was aimed at using opponents, not Canada, a long American ally.
“Definitions are a tax. The customs tariff will harm our families. Canada is not an enemy. Let’s act together to fight fentanel. We can do that,” said Senator Tim Kane, the main sponsor of the decision.
Trump proactively criticized the Republicans to support this measure early in the morning Post on its site on social media, social truth. He also pledged that he would never sign the bill if he cleansed Congress.
“Mitch McConnell from Kentucky, Susan Collins from Maine, Lieza Morkovsky from Alaska and Rand Paul, also in Kentucky, we hope that you will get the Republican cart, for change, and fighting the land and land democrats managers of the high -cost manager, and they wander in the manager. To distribute and buy,” Trump Books. “
“They are playing with the lives of the American people, and in the hands of the left -wing democratic democrats and drug cartridges. The Senate Bill is just a trick of Democrats to show and impose the weakness of some Republicans, that is, the four, in that it does not go anywhere because the House of Representatives will never agree to it and I, because your president will never sign.”
Kane held a press conference with business owners from his original mandate on Tuesday, on the pretext that they and their agents will be severely beaten. He said that the reason for the executive was “so that they can use customs tariff revenues to give a tax reduction to billionaires.”
In this event, Bill Boucher, President of Port City Brung, a craft beer in Alexandria, Virginia, said he expected to have to raise the price of six packages of beer from $ 12.99 to $ 18.99. He said he expected customers to search for low -price alternatives. “We are afraid to slow our business and try to develop our business.”
Senator Susan Collins, the Republican supporter of the decision, argued in the Senate Hall that there is a strong issue of definitions against Mexico and China, “but I do not see the Canada issue.”
A wide range of Mine’s state industries, which will be affected by the definitions of its neighbor across the border – tourism, agriculture, and the processing of the seat. “The economy of Mine is integrated with Canada – our most important commercial partner,” Collins said. She warned that the definitions would be harmful to families and economics.
Most Republicans in the Senate oppose the procedure and stressed that the removal of emergency will affect the American effort to combat the flow of fentanel, which still affects societies throughout the country.
Majority leader John Thun, Rurawi argued against the draft law in a speech on the Senate Hall.
“If we are serious about ending the fentanel crisis in America, we need to address the overall crisis,” he said. “We will not solve the problem by following part of it. Ending this emergency situation will tell the cartals that they should convert their focus to the southern border.”
Democrats have developed a new tariff as taxes on American consumers. The Senator has argued the Republican Party in Kentucky Rand Paul, who voted in favor of the decision, as the mission of Congress to determine the tax policy, not the president, as stipulated in the constitution.
“This is not related to the political party. I voted for President Trump and his support, but I do not support the rule of one person,” Paul said. “This is a simple, simple and simple tax on the American people, but one person cannot do that. Our founding fathers said it would be illegal for one person to raise taxes. He must come to Congress.”
The American Chamber of Commerce supported the bill on Wednesday, where it joined many unions, the United States mayor’s conference, and the groups representing retailers and manufacturers. “The tariff of customs duties is taxes – the Americans paid – and will quickly increase the prices at a time when many struggle with the cost of living,” wrote Nile Bradley, CEO of the American Chamber in a letter to the sponsor of the bill, Senator Tim Kane. He also argued that the definitions violated the commercial deal that was negotiated with Canada and Mexico during the first Trump administration.
