Senate Republicans have rejected a critical bill aimed at restricting tariffs, as stated by the chamber’s leading Republican, John Thune. The bipartisan legislation, introduced by Democrat Maria Cantwell and Republican Chuck Grassley in response to President Donald Trump’s recent tariff announcements, would have required congressional approval for new tariffs. However, Thune expressed skepticism about the bill’s future, citing the president’s intention to veto it. Despite the support of seven Republican senators, including Grassley, Thune indicated uncertainty about the bill’s prospects in the House. We will have to wait and see what unfolds next.
