Schumer to Reverse Trump Tariffs Amid Job Slowdown

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer has pledged to force votes in the coming weeks to overturn Trump tariffs, blaming them for rising unemployment and slowing job growth. The move follows a disappointing jobs report showing higher jobless rates and fewer new positions. Simultaneously, federal courts have blocked key Trump initiatives—from immigration and education orders to deportation policies—labeling them unlawful. The administration is appealing several rulings to the Supreme Court. On the diplomatic front, Trump tariffs have isolated the U.S., driving traditional allies toward China and reshaping global trade alignments. As foreign leaders convene under China’s banner, concerns grow over long-term market volatility and the broader economic impact of sustained trade policy tensions. This combination of domestic legal defeats and trade friction underscores mounting political pressure on the White House and potential market instability.
