"On Wednesday, Congress delivered a rare bipartisan rebuke of Trump's tariffs on Canada - even as the president escalated the spat this week. On Wednesday, the House voted to block Trump's tariffs on Canada by passing a resolution introduced by Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York that would rescind the tariffs Trump imposed on the neighbor under a national emergency declaration."
"As tensions with the US's closest trading partner continue to escalate, the measure cleared the chamber 219 to 211, with six Republicans joining Democrats to defy Trump and GOP leadership. One Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden of Maine, voted against it. The vote came a day after Republican leaders failed to block the effort through a procedural maneuver, when three GOP lawmakers sided with Democrats to allow debate to move forward."
The House passed a resolution 219 to 211 to rescind tariffs that President Donald Trump imposed on Canada under a national emergency declaration. Rep. Gregory Meeks introduced the resolution. Six Republicans joined Democrats in the vote; one Democrat opposed it. Republican leaders failed a procedural move to block debate when three GOP lawmakers allowed debate to proceed. Trump warned on Truth Social that Republicans who vote against the tariffs would face political retaliation. Lawmakers opposing the tariffs cited economic impacts and rising consumer prices. The measure now moves to the Senate but is expected to be largely symbolic.
