- Republican-led Senate passed bill to overturn Trump tariffs on Brazil — The Republican-controlled Senate passed a bill that would overturn Trump's tariffs against Brazil by terminating the national emergency the president declared in July because the country moved forward with the prosecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro for staging an attempted coup in 2022. Five Republicans voted in favor of the bill, including Senator Mitch McConnell. The bill now moves to the House, where it is unlikely to pass.
- US Senate passes resolution to block Trump tariffs on Brazil — The US Senate voted 52-48 to approve a resolution terminating Trump's 50% tariffs on Brazilian imports, including coffee and beef. Five Republicans—Murkowski, Collins, Paul, Tillis, and McConnell—joined all Democrats in the bipartisan rebuke. The resolution, led by Senator Tim Kaine, would overturn the national emergency Trump declared to justify the levies. The measure is expected to stall in the Republican-controlled House and faces certain presidential veto if it reaches Trump's desk.
