The House voted 219-211 to end the national emergency used to impose tariffs on Canada, in a rare bipartisan rebuke of President Donald Trump. The resolution now goes to the Senate, and the article says the rollback would still require Trump’s approval.
The House passed a resolution seeking to end the national emergency Trump declared to impose tariffs on Canada. The vote was 219-211, with Republicans joining Democrats despite GOP leadership objections. The resolution goes next to the Senate; the article says undoing the tariffs would also require Trump’s signature, which it describes as highly unlikely.
Rep. Gregory Meeks, who authored the resolution, argued that the vote concerned the cost of living. Speaker Mike Johnson sought to delay floor action pending a Supreme Court ruling, but Republicans broke with leadership in a procedural vote. Rep. Brian Mast argued the measure would ignore the fentanyl crisis, while Rep. Don Bacon said Congress should defend its authority and criticized tariffs as economic policy.
