A two -party Senators’ bipary group presents a resolution to cancel the president Donald Trump Global tariffs after the administration ignited the trade war with the countries of the world.
Sens. Rand Paul, R-ky., And Ron Widen, D -or.
“Tariffs are taxes, and the force of taxation belongs to Congress – not president,” Paul said in a statement. “Our founders have been clear: the tax policy should never rest in the hands of one person. Abuse of emergency powers of introducing tariffs on a blanket not only increases the costs for US families, but also sharpen the constitution. Congress restores its powers and restores the balance of forces.”
Paul was unwavering critic tariffs During his stay in the post and invariably opposed the use of emergency declarations to bypass Congress.

The measure will be regarded as a privileged resolution that should receive a vote on the Senate floor, the press -release said. If this is approved, the resolution would release the emergency, which Trump announced in the executive order to introduce tariffs of up to 49% of the goods that Americans produced by other countries.
After Trump’s tariff posts, the markets fell, the manufacturers fired thousands of workers, and foreign countries responded, imposing tariffs on the back of agricultural and manufactured goods.
“Trump introduces our economy into recession, killing jobs and wiping the elderly pension funds as we say,” Widen said. “Enough. Enough. No president should have the right to tax everything that Americans buy, not despite the responsibility for Congress. If Republicans do not join the Democrats and gather Congress over the trade policy, it may take years to change.”
Last week, Trump announced the so -called “return” tariffs for trading partners around the world, including countries such as Singapore, which use zero tariffs for US goods.
The president’s tariffs have brought general levies against China to 104%, starting on Wednesday morning. Last week, Trump announced a 34% tariff against the country except 20% duty he had imposed earlier this year. China avenged, corresponding to 34% tariffs, pushing Trump to impose an additional 50% tariffs if Beijing did not withdraw its tariffs for US goods until Tuesday.
China has promised to “fight the end” and says it will Not receding down From the “blackmail” of Trump.

Other tariffs in the US include 46% in Vietnam, 32% in Taiwan, 24% in Japan and 10% on Singapore, as well as 20% in the European Union.
Some countries impose tariffs for retaliations on US goods, while others say they will not fulfill their duties as they seek to negotiate With the Trump administration.
“No president has powers in a unilateral level of such sweeping tariffs without approval in Congress,” Kane said. “President Trump’s tariff strategy is an increase in US families, threatening the alliance, our national security depends on what creates an opportunity for China and other opponents to take advantage of global instability. The Congress now will appoint its powers in international trade, and I hope my colleagues will join both sides.”
Warren said that Trump’s “reckless agenda” will harm American families, small businesses and manufacturers, adding that tariffs are “economic sabotage”.
In addition, Shumer emphasized that Trump “leads his head to America to the recession without planning how to correct the crater’s economy,” and Kane claimed that the president’s tariff strategy increases the cost of US families, threatening the alliance that national security rests and creates opportunities for China and other crossings.
