Oct. 29 (UPI) -- The U.S. Senate has passed legislation terminating the national emergency declared by President Donald Trump to impose tariffs on Canada, a day after it terminated the United States' tariffs on Brazil.
Republicans Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rand Paul, also of Kentucky, joined their Democratic colleagues in a 50-46 vote to pass S.J. Res. 77 on Wednesday evening.
"Tonight, the Senate came together and sent President Trump a clear, bipartisan message: he cannot continue to abuse his power and unilaterally wage a trade war against one of our strongest allies," Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., said in a statement.
"We cannot afford to keep raising costs, hurting businesses and eliminating jobs by attacking our neighbor and ally."
