🟥🔥 Urgent | The U.S. Senate Votes Today on a Bill to Eliminate Some Tariffs
📌 The U.S. Senate is scheduled to vote on Wednesday evening on a bill aimed at ending a set of tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, at a time when the U.S. economy is experiencing its first contraction in three years, amid growing criticism of Trump's trade policies.
📌 The measure, introduced by Democratic Senator Ron Wyden, is based on ending the national emergency declared by Trump, which he used as a basis for imposing a 10% global tariff, in addition to higher tariffs on 57 trading partners, including the European Union.
📌 The bill is expected to receive support from some Republicans, similar to what happened weeks ago when 4 Republican members joined Democrats to pass a similar law that eliminated the new tariffs on Canada. The Republican majority in the chamber currently stands at 53 seats compared to 47 for the Democrats.
