In just one year, Trump\u2019s tariff tax cost the average family nearly $2,000, with hardworking Americans bearing 96% of the cost of the hundreds of billions of dollars in new tariffs. Still, Trump has been undeterred by the chaos and pain his trade war has wrought and continues to double down on the global stage.\n\nToday, Murray and Schumer introduced the End Trump\u2019s Tariff Tax Act, legislation that would revoke and refund Trump\u2019s latest barrage of tariffs and repeal the archaic authorities he has used to continue his trade war. This legislation would apply to Trump\u2019s newest global tariffs of 12.5% and 50% tariffs on Canada.\n\n\u201cTrump\u2019s erratic and senseless trade war is nothing short of economic arson\u2014no business can plan around Trump\u2019s unpredictable tariffs, American credibility is shot, and costs are up,\u201d said Senator Murray. \u201cWhile Republicans are enabling Trump\u2019s economic sabotage, Democrats are fighting to put an end to these reckless tariffs. That\u2019s why we\u2019re introducing this legislation to block and refund Trump\u2019s tariffs so we can focus on growing the economy for everyone and making life affordable again.\u201d\n\n\u201cWhile inflation rages, families struggle to pay their bills, and small businesses close, Trump \u2013 detached from reality \u2013 continues his bluster on the global stage, doubling down on a chaotic trade war that has meant only pain for American families, farmers, and manufacturers,\u201d said Leader Schumer. \u201cRepublicans won\u2019t stand up to Trump\u2019s nonsense and Americans are crying out for relief. That\u2019s why I am introducing legislation that would end Trump\u2019s costly tariff taxes.\u201d\n\nThe legislation is also co-sponsored by Ron Wyden (D-OR), Jack Reed (D-RI), Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Mark Warner (D-VA), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Chris Coons (D-DE), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Angus King (ME), Tim Kaine (D-VA), Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), and Peter Welch (D-VT).\n\nSenator Murray has fought Trump\u2019s tariff taxes at every turn alongside her colleagues, with Senate Democrats forcing multiple successful votes to terminate Trump\u2019s previous tariffs on Canada, Brazil, and other major trading partners, and supporting the litigation that led to the Supreme Court striking down Trump\u2019s prior tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).\n\nSenator Murray has been outspoken about the harm Trump\u2019s tariffs are causing in Washington state\u2014one of the most trade-dependent states in the country; Murray has held numerous events in every corner of the state to hear from businesses, farmers, and border communities about the effects of Trump\u2019s trade war.\n\nBill text is available here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-09-02T09:19:58Z", "2026-09-02T09:20:51Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.murray.senate.gov/murray-introduces-bill-to-end-trumps-trade-war-with-canada-lower-costs-slams-trumps-latest-tariffs-as-economic-arson/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6489611007273197, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
