President Donald Trump will veto a Senate resolution aimed at ending his global tariffs, even though the measure has bipartisan support. The White House warned several lawmakers in a letter sent to congressional offices. Senators Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Rand Paul, R-Ky., are supporting the resolution.
Paul, who has been a fierce critic of Trump’s tariffs, recently told the Wall Street Journal that he is "not alone" in his skepticism of the administration’s tariff policies. He also noted that "millions of investors who are self-interested have misgivings about tariffs."
The administration reportedly wrote in its warning to lawmakers that it "strongly opposes S.J. Res. 49," which would end the national emergency declared by Trump on April 2, 2025, to impose global tariffs. Trump announced a host of sweeping tariffs on "Liberation Day," targeting countries around the world.
"There can be no doubt that S.J. Res. 49 — if passed — would undermine U.S. national and economic security," the administration reportedly wrote. "If S.J. Res. 49 were presented to the president, he would veto it."

Rand Paul is the enemy. I have warned of this for years. Just like his father, he is not the person you thought he was...
“”Anyone cheering on Rand tomorrow?””
I, for one.... will be cheering for the defeat of Rand “hoisted by his own petard” Paul tomorrow. He does not represent the majority of America .... ie We, the People.
Democrat Party motto: “Anything to hurt America.”
Rand Paul is an idiot, and not even a useful one. He needs to stop talking about tariffs, a subject he doesn’t even understand.
Funny. He will likely have a majority in the Senate ...
Rand Paul has a Napoleon Complex.
RINO's and misguided Republicans joining with the Delusional Lying Left.
Rand needs to get out of the beltway for awhile. It's choking him to death.
the new mitch mcconnell Trump saboteur and leftist favoring rino
After all, what spells out a power hungry rino, than reaching out across the isle for leftist support to arm twist Trump for your benefit...
RandFan: “Anyone cheering on Rand tomorrow?”
Besides you?
I’ll take the under
Here’s the deal w you and the others in the TDS peanut gallery:
You NEVER have a solution. All you have are pot shots against someone (President Trump for all of you Freeper doomers on here). But you never have a plan
How are you better than the Dems?
Thats what want. Congress screw something else up. They have hosing the American people for years.
I really don’t understand Rand Paul here, he could work with Trump on the mirid of things he agrees with the President about and get something positive done. But instead he still wants to be an obstructionist while his party holds the Congress and the Presidency?
With all his huffing and puffing at Fauci, what happened to Fauci? NOTHING.
Rand Paul is a shill for China..I never thought Id see the day that Paul of all people would be China’s b*tch..after all China did to the world, creating a bioweapon killing MILLIONS without even having to say “Sorry, but here are some cheap ass Chinese masks to make ya all happy”
A victory comes with controlled opposition. The Art of Trump.
I’m
Larry Clayman is for tariffs so then am i
Trying to think of one thing Ron Paul was wrong about. He was right about the Federal Reserve and inflation, bloated government debt, the deep state's countless wars overseas, government spying (ultimately used against Trump)
Please remind me how Ron Paul was an enemy.
Um..... This bill will never see the light of day in the House.
Its not the tariffs so much its the trade war 47 began
This is drama..
Everyone knows Trump sure isn’t going to sign it, and there aren’t going to get 67 Senators to override it...
I don’t begrudge anyone for actually following the process as it is intended, but there is zero chance 20 GOP senators are going to switch sides go get a veto override accomplished.
I have no doubt there are establishment republican senators who would be willing to vote for this, and if it was a private vote, where the public would not know who they were, maybe you might be able to get to 20... but a public vote, not going to happen, at least not at this point.
If a year from now, the stock market is in the tank, the economy is in the thank, and Trump’s base truly does erode, you could see possibly enough to vote publicly to override, but where thing stand in the near term, not a chance to get to 67.
3 more beyond Paul? Perhaps, 20 to get the override? Nope.
