A growing number of Republican senators are joining Democrats in opposing former President Donald Trump's plan to impose tariffs on Canada, signaling a rare bipartisan rebuke. The Senate is expected to pass a resolution that would end the emergency declaration Trump used to justify the tariffs. Trump has long championed tariffs as a tool to protect American industry, a stance he's held since the 1980s. Meanwhile, Canada has announced it will not retaliate with tariffs on most U.S. food and essential imports, aiming to protect its own economy and jobs. The developments highlight increasing political and economic tensions surrounding Trump's trade policies.
