The Republican-led U.S. Senate on Tuesday approved a 52-48 measure to end President Trump’s tariffs on Brazil by revoking the national emergency he declared in July over Bolsonaro’s prosecution. Five Republicans joined Democrats in supporting the bill, which now moves to the House, where it is expected to face opposition. Similar votes on tariffs affecting Canada and other countries are planned later this week. Senate Democrats argue Trump used false emergencies to impose tariffs, which have raised prices for U.S. consumers, while Brazil highlights the $410 billion U.S. trade surplus over 15 years.
