The legal hurdle to a Senate vote on Trump’s new Canada tariffs
Semafor reports that Trump used a nearly century-old law to impose the tariffs, taking away individual senators’ ability to force a Senate floor vote.
TLDR
Trump’s new Canada tariffs were infuriating Democrats and annoying some Republicans, Semafor said on September 21, 2026, but Congress was unlikely to vote on them before the election. The outlet reports that the law Trump used to impose the levies prevents individual senators from forcing a Senate floor vote on the tariffs.
