“Unlikely Alliance: Four Senate Republicans Break With Trump on Trade Policy”
In a rare display of bipartisan unity, four Senate Republicans joined forces with Democrats to issue a significant rebuke to President Donald Trump’s trade policy. The Senate voted 51-48 in favor of a resolution aimed at blocking the Trump administration’s proposed tariffs on Canadian imports.
The four Republicans who sided with Democrats were Sens. Rand Paul (who co-sponsored the resolution), Susan Collins, Mitch McConnell, and Lisa Murkowski. This move marks an unusual moment of opposition to Trump within the GOP-controlled Senate, especially as the president had actively criticized the measure and urged Republicans to vote against it.
