Ending the Global Tariffs Emergency

Official title: A joint resolution terminating the national emergency declared to impose global tariffs.

What this does

This joint resolution would have ended the national emergency that the President declared on April 2, 2025, in Executive Order 14257, which the resolution describes as the emergency declared to impose global tariffs. It acts under section 202 of the National Emergencies Act, and the termination would have taken effect on the date the resolution became law. Its single operative clause does nothing beyond ending that one declared emergency. The Senate rejected it on a 49 to 49 tie, so the emergency was not terminated.

Reported lobbying

At least

organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing.

A floor, not a total. Those organizations were counted by the client name on 11 quarterly reports filed by 3 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4 and 2026 Q2. The disclosure form takes a free text description of the issue, so an organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.

The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position (a filer may describe one in its own words), so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.

The organizations named

CONSUMER TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION
INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF TEAMSTERS
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OF THE U.S.A.

Listed as filed. They are every client name on the filings counted here.

From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1 and 2026 Q2. Our copy holds 2 fewer filings for 2025 Q4 and 7 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q3 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
