Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said he expects to have enough support in the Senate to pass a resolution blocking President Trump’s tariffs, CNN reported.

“I would call it chicanery. I would call it dishonesty,” Paul said of Johnson’s move to tuck a provison blocking tariff resolutions into a rule. “I mean, it's just a terrible idea that he's actually overturning the law with a rule.”

“Congress – not the president – has the ultimate authority to decide tax law, including tariffs. It’s time for Congress to grow a spine and draw a line in the sand on this issue,” Paul previously said.

The White House warned President Trump would veto a Senate resolution to block tariffs.

From POLITICO:

The statement of administration policy from the Office of Management and Budget, sent to congressional offices Monday, comes ahead of an expected vote this week forced by several Democrats led by Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon and Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky.

“This resolution would undermine the administration’s efforts to address the unusual and extraordinary threats to national security and economic stability, posed by the conditions reflected in the large and persistent annual U.S. goods trade deficit,” the administration wrote.

It added that “there can be no doubt that S.J. Res. 49 — if passed — would undermine U.S. national and economic security. If S.J. Res. 49 were presented to the president, he would veto it.”

The vote on the resolution to nix Trump’s global tariffs comes after the Senate voted earlier this month to undo separate levies on Canada. Four Republicans backed the effort: Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitch McConnell on Kentucky and Paul.

Per Fox Business:

Earlier this month, the Trump White House threatened to veto another piece of bipartisan legislation aimed at increasing Congress’ role in tariff policy. The Trade Review Act of 2025, which was backed by Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., and Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, would have mandated congressional approval for unilateral tariffs.

The Trump White House has fiercely defended its tariff policies, saying they would bring manufacturing back home and improve the lives of everyday Americans. In a proclamation released on April 26 in honor of World Intellectual Property Day, the White House declared that tariffs would help protect American IP.
