House Rebukes Trump Tariffs on Canada as White House Weighs Steel and Aluminum Rollbacks

Overview

• The House voted 219–211 to end the national‑emergency basis for tariffs on Canadian goods, with six Republicans joining most Democrats.
• A day earlier, the House rejected a GOP-led rule to shield the tariffs from challenges in a 217–214 vote, exposing fractures in the narrow Republican majority.
• The resolution now heads to the Senate, but a presidential veto is expected and would be difficult to override with the required two‑thirds majorities.
• A New York Fed analysis finds 86% to 94% of tariff costs fell on U.S. firms and consumers in 2025, and outside estimates put the annual hit to the median household near $1,000–$1,400.
• Officials are reviewing possible exemptions or narrower coverage for steel and aluminum measures reported at up to 50%, after business complaints over complexity and consumer price pressures.
