Since then, senators have grumbled about the tariffs and made moves to terminate his usage of emergency powers throughout the year.
And it’s the second time that this particular resolution from Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., has been considered in the Senate.
The first go-round saw the resolution narrowly defeated 49-49, not because of partisan will but because of absences on the day of the vote. At the time, Sens. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., were expected to vote for the resolution but missed their chance.

Meanwhile, Trump announced that after a "truly great" meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping that he would lower his fentanyl tariffs on China by 10%. That brings the total level of duties on the country down to 47% from 57%.
The reduction comes after China agreed to help stymie the flow of chemicals into the U.S. that are used to create the dangerous narcotic and to ease export controls on rare earth minerals, which manufacturers in the U.S. rely on to create a variety of goods and electronics.

"There is enormous respect between our two countries, and that will only be enhanced with what just took place," Trump said on Truth Social. "We agreed on many things, with others, even of high importance, being very close to resolved."
