Senate to force vote aimed at blocking Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs today

Washington — The Senate is expected to vote Wednesday on a measure aimed at blocking President Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs amid anxiety over how the wide-ranging tariffs could disrupt the U.S. economy.

The resolution, led by Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon and Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, would terminate the April 2 national emergency that the president is using to impose the tariffs, effectively blocking the sweeping levies on foreign imports.

But the measure almost certainly won't be taken up in the GOP-controlled House, making the vote largely a symbolic one.
