Canada First: Democrats Aim The Opening Shot Of Their Tariff Rollback At Trump's Smoot-Hawley Levies... But Veto Math Says Good Luck Three days after a blue tsunami swept both chambers, Democrats have picked their first trade fight, and it's the one they have already won three times.
According to the WSJ , Democrats are eyeing President Trump's trade war with Canada as the first target in a campaign to roll back the administration's tariff agenda , according to Senate Finance's top Democrat (and soon its chairman), Oregon's Ron Wyden.
"There is overwhelming support for repealing the tariffs on products from Canada," Wyden told the Journal, adding that he is already talking with colleagues about legislation once he takes the committee gavel in January , and that "Congress must take away the president's ability to unilaterally and arbitrarily impose tariffs." Overwhelming, maybe.
Veto-proof?
