House Passes Resolution to Repeal Canada Tariffs

The House passed a resolution targeting President Trump’s Canada tariffs, with Massie among six Republicans who joined Democrats. A separate procedural vote also defeated an effort to block lawmakers from bringing tariff measures forward. Center outlets emphasize the break with Trump and Johnson and the possibility of a veto. Right-leaning outlets likewise focus on Republicans joining Democrats, while also highlighting Massie’s procedural vote and Trump’s primary-challenge warning.
