House Votes to Rescind Trump's Canada Tariffs in Rebuke

The House of Representatives has voted to rescind President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada, delivering a major rebuke to his trade policy. The measure passed by a vote of 219-211, with six Republicans joining nearly all Democrats in supporting the resolution. Reps. Don Bacon, Brian Fitzpatrick, Dan Newhouse, Jeff Hurd, Thomas Massie, and Kevin Kiley were among those who voted against Trump's tariffs.

Trump responded to the vote by warning that any Republican who supports rescinding his tariffs will face consequences, including potential primaries. 'Any Republican, in the House or the Senate, that votes against TARIFFS will seriously suffer the consequences come Election time, and that includes Primaries,' Trump said on social media.

The resolution now heads to the Senate, where its fate is uncertain. Speaker Mike Johnson argued that Congress should not be getting in the way of Trump's tariffs, stating that they 'have done great for the economy.' However, House Republican leaders have been fighting for a year to block tariff votes from hitting the House floor.

The measure would end the emergency declaration Trump used to justify his Canada tariffs. Additional votes are possible in the near future to block tariffs imposed by the president against several other countries, including Mexico.
