WYDEN APPLAUDS PASSAGE OF RESOLUTION TO END TRUMP’S GLOBAL TARIFFS

October 31, 2025 3:50 a.m. 

On Thursday, Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Senator Ron Wyden applauded Senate passage of his bipartisan resolution to repeal President Donald Trump’s global tariffs and restore congressional authority over trade.

A release said Wyden led the resolution with Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky.

The binding measure would terminate the emergency that President Trump declared to slap tariffs of up to 40 percent on products Americans buy from other countries. Wyden claims that in the wake of Trump’s tariff declaration, costs have increased, manufacturers have laid off thousands of workers and halted domestic investments, and foreign countries have sharply cut purchases of American agricultural experts.

The resolution, along with similar resolutions to repeal the tariffs on products Americans buy from Canada and Brazil, next heads to the House.

Wyden said, “For the third day in a row, bipartisan senators have made it clear that it’s time to put a stake in the heart of Donald Trump’s job-killing trade taxes”. Wyden said, “I’ll continue working with my colleagues to give Republicans opportunities to put their constituents ahead of blind loyalty to Donald Trump”.
