Despite rare opposition in the Senate, the House is unlikely to take any similar action \u2013 key US politics stories from Thursday 30 October at a glance
A (small) handful of US Senate Republicans issued a legislative rebuke to president Donald Trump\u2019s world-rattling trade tariffs in a rare alignment with their Democratic counterparts.
Four Republicans \u2013 Susan Collins of Maine, Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul of Kentucky, and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska \u2013 joined the opposition party, voting 51-47 on a resolution to end the base-level tariffs on more than 100 nations that the president put into place via executive order.
It was the third time the Republicans have voted alongside Democrats on a tariff resolution this week, previously rallying to end tariffs targeting Brazil and Canada.
Going against Trump is rare for Republicans in his second term. But despite the opposition in the Senate, the House is unlikely to take any similar action. House Republicans created a rule earlier this year that will block resolutions on the tariffs from getting a floor vote.
The US Senate took a stand against Donald Trump\u2019s global tariffs affecting more than 100 countries on Thursday, voting to nullify the so-called \u201creciprocal\u201d tariffs.
The tariff resolutions are a rebuke to the tariffs themselves and to Trump overstepping his authority and bypassing Congress. Senator Tim Kaine, a Democrat from Virginia, told reporters that the symbolic opposition should catch the president\u2019s attention.
