Bipartisan Senate Bill Seeks Repeal of Trump Coffee Tariffs

The Senate has voted to repeal President Trump's broad "Liberation Day" tariffs, including specific efforts to eliminate tariffs on coffee imports that have significantly increased costs for American consumers. Bipartisan legislation, led by Senators Rand Paul and Catherine Cortez Masto, aims to roll back coffee tariffs to pre-Trump levels, addressing the 41% price increase in coffee over the past year due to tariffs on key suppliers like Brazil and Colombia. Lawmakers argue these tariffs do not support American jobs but instead raise prices for families and small businesses, with concerns that small coffee businesses may face closures. The tariffs were imposed under a national emergency declaration, which the Senate recently voted to end, though the House and President Trump oppose reversing the measures. The Supreme Court is set to consider the constitutionality of Trump's tariff authority, highlighting ongoing legal challenges. Despite bipartisan support in the Senate, these tariff rollback efforts face significant hurdles in the House and from the administration, making immediate repeal unlikely.
