That could be good news for Canadians looking for an end to the trade war with the U.S.

Early Wednesday, Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden, D-Ore., issued a statement about the committee’s plan, noting that Republicans had executed and defended “the most craven parts of Trump’s agenda: ripping health insurance away from millions, driving up costs with tariffs, covering up Epstein’s financial records, and letting Trump treat the Treasury Department like his personal piggy bank. The American people who are struggling to afford gas, health care, and groceries overwhelmingly voted for change.”
