The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution against President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods, delivering a stinging rebuke to the administration for launching a trade war on its northern neighbour.
The House voted 219-211 in favour of a resolution seeking to terminate the national emergency that Trump invoked in February 2025 to empower his tariffs on a range of imports from Canada.
Six Republicans defied the White House and joined the Democrats in voting for the measure.
Trump warns GOP lawmakers they will ‘suffer’ serious consequences if they vote to end Canada tariffs
The warning occurred shortly before six House Republicans voted with Democrats to end the tariffs in a 219-211 split, but the vote is largely considered symbolic because Trump is expected to veto it, which would then require a two-thirds majority in both chambers to overturn.
