The White House on April 28 warned that President Donald Trump will veto a Senate resolution that seeks to terminate the administration’s global tariffs.

In a statement of policy, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) said the Trump administration “strongly opposes” a joint resolution led by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), and several other Democrats—along with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.)—that would suspend the national emergency order issued by Trump in early April that imposed a broad swath of tariffs.
