Schumer to introduce bill targeting Trump's latest tariffs on Canada
The bill is backed by 13 Senate Democrats and would repeal both sets of tariffs, require refunds and curb presidential tariff power.
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is introducing legislation to repeal President Donald Trump's recent tariffs on Canadian goods, backed by 13 Senate Democrats seeking cost-of-living relief.
- Trump imposed 50% tariffs on goods ranging from hockey sticks to honey last month after trade talks collapsed, while the administration also applied Section 301 duties on forced-labour grounds.
- A nationwide poll of 1,023 registered voters found only 20% support the higher tariffs, while some Republicans, including Vermont Republican Gov. Phil Scott, have criticized the trade policy.
- Though the bill likely faces a veto in the Republican-controlled Congress, Senator Ruben Gallego supports the repeal, calling the tariffs "dumb" and urging a return to CUSMA negotiations.
- Canada is set to respond with retaliatory duties next week, while Democrats are utilizing this legislative push to sharpen their affordability messaging before the midterm elections.
