Five Senate Republicans joined Democrats on Tuesday night to pass a resolution blocking President Donald Trump’s plan to impose heavy tariffs on billions of dollars worth of goods from Brazil.

The resolution overturned Trump’s emergency declaration that had set a 50% tariff on most imports from Brazil.

The vote passed 52 to 48, with Republican Senators Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine and Mitch McConnell of Kentucky siding with 47 Democrats.

Even though the resolution drew support from both sides, it was mostly a symbolic step because the House was unlikely to take it up anytime soon, or possibly ever. The House had already approved a measure last month delaying any votes that challenge Trump’s tariffs until next year.

The White House did not issue any comment after the vote, and the office of House Speaker Mike Johnson, R La, also did not respond to questions about whether the House might consider the resolution once the current block on tariff votes ended.

Democrats had used a special rule called a privileged measure to bring the resolution to a vote without needing permission from the majority party. It required only 51 votes to pass.

This move was similar to another Senate resolution passed in April that aimed to block Trump’s tariffs on Canadian products. Among the five Republicans who voted on Tuesday to block tariffs on Brazil, all except Tillis had also joined Democrats on that earlier measure, which still remains stalled in the House.

Earlier this week, Trump met Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in Malaysia. Both leaders hinted that a trade agreement between the two countries could be on the way.

Trump had first imposed tariffs on Brazil as a response to the trial of his political ally, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. Last month, Brazil’s Supreme Court sentenced Bolsonaro to more than 27 years in prison after finding him guilty of plotting a coup to stay in power following the 2022 election.

Trump had initially introduced a 10% tariff on Brazil in April, but he later raised it to 50% in July as Bolsonaro’s trial moved forward.
