US Senate Votes to Overturn Trump's Tariffs on Brazil
29 October, 2025
The Republican-led US Senate passed legislation to terminate tariffs imposed on Brazil by President Donald Trump. The tariffs were implemented in July after Trump declared a national emergency in retaliation for Brazil's prosecution of its former president, Jair Bolsonaro. The measure, which passed 52-48 with five Republicans joining Democrats, reflects ongoing divisions within the US over Trump's use of tariffs and emergency declarations to conduct trade policy. The bill now heads to the House of Representatives.
