The Senate is set to vote on a resolution led by Senators Ron Wyden and Rand Paul to block President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs, which have raised concerns about their economic impact. The measure aims to terminate the national emergency declared on April 2 that allows these tariffs, but it is unlikely to pass in the GOP-controlled House, making the vote largely symbolic. Amidst ongoing tariff-related tensions, House Speaker Mike Johnson stated that the executive branch holds significant authority on trade, while the economy showed signs of slowing growth in the first quarter of 2025.
