Following the Republican-controlled Senate’s rebuke of his tariffs, President Donald Trump appears to be losing leverage in trying to get some Senate GOP detractors to comply with his agenda.

On Tuesday, Sens. Rand Paul (R-KY), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Susan Collins (R-ME), and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) joined Democrats in opposing Trump’s national emergency declaration to impose a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports. The tariff was meant as a response to Brazil’s trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro, an ally of Trump.
