The Republican-controlled Senate narrowly vetoed a bill aimed at overturning Trump's tariff measures. The US President's tariff war against global trading partners has raised public concerns about inflation and economic recession. In Wednesday's vote, the Senate failed to pass the bill with 49 votes in favor and 49 against. Three Republican senators joined the ranks of all Democratic senators and voted in favor. Since Trump has previously claimed that he will veto the bill, even if it is passed, it is only symbolic.
