Trump faces rare pushback within his party over tariffs as polls slide

Pressure builds as Republican fractures emerge, a symbolic House vote on tariffs advances and a pivotal Supreme Court ruling looms

President Donald Trump faced noteworthy pushback over his signature tariff policy in the US Congress this week as his popularity slipped and more lawmakers in his party appeared willing to risk his wrath.

“What a difference a day makes,” said Henrietta Treyz, co-founder of Veda Partners, a consultancy. “For the first time in nearly a year, Democrats and anti-tariff Republicans will be able to record their opposition and send a message of rebuke and opposition to the White House.”

The House of Representatives was set to consider a largely symbolic vote on Wednesday, subsequently rescheduled, by the Democratic minority to rescind the tariffs that he imposed on Canada last year.
