Four Republican Senators joined the Democrats on Wednesday (2) to provide rare reprimand from both parties to President Donald Trump on commercial policy.
The Senate approved a resolution from 51 to 48 votes to prevent Trump’s definitions of Canadian imports. The four Republicans who voted with the Democrats were: Senator Rand Paul, who participated in the skill of decision, Susan Collins, Mitch McConneel and Lza Morkovsky.
The movement is equivalent to rare resistance from the two parties against Trump in the Senate led by the Republican Party and comes after Trump criticized the procedure and asked the Republicans to vote against it.
The effect of the Senate vote can remain largely symbolic. Republican leaders are not expected to make any effort to rid Trump about the policy of customs tariffs – until they moved earlier this year to ban such a movement. However, some Democrats believe that they have found a way to circumvent Republican leaders on the issue of the tariff policy.
Senate scale led by Democrats to reprimand the policy of work in the administration It was under progress for some time and was not a direct response to Trump’s tariff ads on Wednesday (2).
The decision will cancel the national emergency statement conveyed by the Trump government in February to announce the planned definitions of Canada’s imports. Democrats described this measure as a way to retract prices around Canadian products.
On Wednesday (2), Trump announced at least 10 % in almost all products that enter the United States, in addition to the high rates of countries with the highest commercial deficit with the United States.
The new policy is a major change in global economic and trade policy. It aims to restore the achievement of the American manufacturing industry and trade balance. But it threatens to expand the scope of an emerging global trade war and increase the prices of consumers in the United States at a time -fraught time of the economy.
Greg Mix of New York, the main democratic of the Foreign Relations Committee in the House of Representatives, said on Wednesday that he intends to make a distinguished decision to the Council to impose voting on the customs tariff, a procedural action that can be used to circumvent leadership and force opposition voices.
Democratic Senator Tim Kane, who led the efforts to compel the Senate on the Introduction to the Trump administration on Canadian imports, said on Wednesday that he approached McConnell on Tuesday night about the signing and said Kentucky fans promised to support him before he asked.
Kane said: “I said, I want to talk to you about the account of my Canadian tariffs. As you know, I couldn’t reach the question, and said:” I am with you. “
McConnell did not respond when he asked the CNN correspondent in the Capitol on Wednesday before planning to vote to support the signature voltage.
Before the vote, Kane said she believed that she had “strong support” for four Republican Senate members, which will be enough to vote the Senate to be successful. He said that there are also some Republicans, “Those who think about it, but they did not announce.”
Trump urged the Republicans to vote against this measure in the position of social truth and pointed to four specific Republicans – Paul, McConnell, Morkovsky and Collins – saying: “Lucky, go to the car of the Republicans, for change, and fight the Democrats.”
He added: “For people from the states of Kentucky, Alaska and Maine, please contact these members of the Senate and finally we have committed to the values and proverbs of the Republic.”
Collins spoke to support the Senate decision on Wednesday afternoon before Trump’s announcement.
She said: “The economy of Mine’s state is integrated with Canada, our most important commercial partner. From home heating oil, gasoline, jet fuel and other refined oil products, to German paper factories, forest products, agricultural producers and lagoster, Canada’s tariff will be harmful to many of the families of Maine and our local economies.”
Kane has warned of the negative consequences of the agricultural countries of the trade war, specifically mentioning the possibly negative impact of the whiskey industry.
Kane said: “There was no one -sided commercial war, and they have always been criticized when agriculture was. It reached very strong agricultural countries, which include whiskey,” Kane said. “The distillation of craftsmen in Virginia, hand -made beer manufacturers are concerned about it.”
In reference to McConnell, Kane said: “I am sure he is listening to the same thing. I imagine that he is listening to many people.”
He was asked before voting whether he believed that Trump’s position on the social truth would affect the voices. Kane said: “He also attacked me, and this does not affect me. And those that attacked her, I do not think this affects them. So let’s see.”
