Senator Ron Wyden announces a bipartisan resolution to end Trump's global tariffs

Democratic Senator Ron Wyden announced Tuesday that he will introduce a resolution to repeal the sweeping global tariffs announced by President Donald Trump last week, setting up a direct test of political support for the president’s escalating trade war.

Wyden’s move would force Senate Republicans to publicly take a stance on the tariffs, which have shaken financial markets and fueled growing fears of a potential recession. GOP senators are increasingly uneasy, caught between allegiance to Trump and concern over the economic fallout.

While the timing of the vote remains uncertain, Wyden said the resolution has garnered some Republican backing. He made the announcement during a Senate Finance Committee hearing featuring U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.

“Today, I am proposing a new bipartisan privileged resolution to end the latest global tariffs that are clobbering American families and small businesses,” Wyden said, noting that the Senate is obligated to vote on privileged resolutions.

A similar resolution targeting Trump’s tariffs on Canada passed the Senate after four Republicans joined Democrats to support it. Although that measure encountered procedural roadblocks in the House and faced a likely veto from the president, it nevertheless sent a strong political message by showing bipartisan pushback against Trump’s trade policy.

Wyden’s latest resolution would likely meet a similar fate, facing a potential veto and opposition from House GOP leadership.

The effort follows several other legislative attempts to curb the president’s tariff authority. One such bill, co-sponsored by Republican Senator Chuck Grassley and six other GOP senators, would require congressional review and approval for most tariffs within 60 days. The White House has already signaled that Trump would veto that measure if it clears Congress.
