The Senate introduced a proposal on the day after Trump announced the "Liberation Day Tariff," requiring congressional approval for tariff increases. At least seven Republican senators have expressed agreement. The White House has just stated that Trump will exercise his veto. If the Senate wants to override the president's veto, it requires a two-thirds absolute majority vote, meaning that apart from the seven, at least thirteen more Republican senators must agree. The situation in the House of Representatives is unclear. The Speaker of the House said, "We need to give the president a chance to implement the new policy, which is what voters want... We will discuss the proposal... but there is little time, and trade issues do indeed need to be resolved."
