The White House is warning that President Donald Trump will veto a bipartisan Senate resolution that would terminate his sweeping global “Liberation Day” tariffs.
The statement of administration policy from the Office of Management and Budget, sent to congressional offices Monday, comes ahead of an expected vote this week forced by several Democrats led by Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon and Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky.
“This resolution would undermine the administration’s efforts to address the unusual and extraordinary threats to national security and economic stability, posed by the conditions reflected in the large and persistent annual U.S. goods trade deficit,” the administration wrote.
It added that “there can be no doubt that S.J. Res. 49 — if passed — would undermine U.S. national and economic security. If S.J. Res. 49 were presented to the president, he would veto it.”
The vote on the resolution to nix Trump’s global tariffs comes after the Senate voted earlier this month to undo separate levies on Canada. Four Republicans backed the effort: Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitch McConnell on Kentucky and Paul.
The White House also previously threatened to veto bipartisan legislation spearheaded by Sens. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) that would have strengthened Congress’ role in deciding tariffs policy. Even as Trump’s actions have roiled markets and sparked unusually public unease among a swath of GOP lawmakers, there’s little appetite currently for legislation that would curb his tariff powers.

The Senate is expected to vote on the resolution this week, and to have enough votes for passage. Rand Paul, as usual, is leading the effort along with Oregon’s Eon Wyden.
Ron Wyden.
So every Executive Action is blocked by a judge among the hundreds of woke ones (235 from Biden alone), every bill dies in the Senate facing a filibuster and lack of 60 votes, and ones with poison pill additions from Dems will be vetoed by Trump.
I can’t even imagine Congress attempting to manage something as detailed as tariff policy. How would it work? A committee to meet and decide on every separate tariff? Congress can’t even pass a rational appropriations bill..
Veto a resolution from the Senate? Thought the veto was only used on bills passed by both House and Senate.
😂
The GOP scum in the Senate continue to prefer always being in the deep state/Marxist controlled environment...
This is beginning to look more and more like a 2017-2020 redux...
The veto threat is against the unlikely possibility that the resolution also passes in the House.
I must have missed the tax cuts the Congress passed. Glad they were able to get that done. Did I also miss the judicial reform bill they should have done as well?
These scumbags really want to lose the midterms.
Ron Wyden, otherwise known as fish face.
His entire state is sinking.
I never thought Id see the day that Rand Paul would be China’s bitch..after all China did to America, to the WORLD, to do this, shows what he is
The GOPe congress will get tossed in 554 days anyway like they always do, the do-nothings earn it. Hopefully this tariff stuff will be worked out and off-topic by next fall, the rats will start impeachment hearings the day they take power.
Waxface Wyden from Oregon is a POS! Ask the majority of people outside of Portland.
The democrat party has gone psycho.
They can’t stand Trump blowing up their illegal US Grifttitution based on USAID, money laundering, the cartels and NGO satellite operations.
A Resolution is not legislation and does not require the President’s signature. It cannot be vetoed. A Resolution conveys “the sense of the Senate” (or House).
“Thought the veto was only used on bills passed by both House and Senate.”
Correct. A Resolution is not legislation that requires the President’s signature. It merely conveys the “Sense of the Senate,” regardless of how nonsensical the Senate is.
Tariff stuff? That “stuff” is the most important policy initiative since the cold war.
China owned Rand Paul all long.
