US House Votes To Overturn Trump's Tariffs On Canada. The US House of Representatives has voted to overturn Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods, in a 219–211 vote. Six Republican lawmakers joined Democrats in supporting the resolution to end the tariffs Trump imposed last year. The vote, while symbolic, faces a long road to becoming law, as it must be approved by the US Senate and then signed by Trump, who is unlikely to back it. Since his re-election, Trump has imposed a series of tariffs on Canada, including threats of a 100% import tax related to Canada’s trade deal with China. As the vote took place, Trump posted on Truth Social, warning Republicans who voted against tariffs that they would face consequences at election time, stressing that tariffs had been key to economic and national security. The vote follows an attempt by Mike Johnson, an ally of Trump, to block debate on the issue. Despite his efforts, the measure passed with Republican defections and solid Democratic support. Gregory Meeks introduced the measure, accusing Trump of "weaponizing tariffs" and destabilizing the global economy.
