House Votes to End Trump’s Canada Tariffs, Sending Challenge to Senate

The result sends the challenge to the Senate, where a veto looms.

Overview

  • The House approved a resolution 219–211 to terminate the national emergency underpinning tariffs on Canadian goods after six Republicans joined Democrats.
  • Republicans Thomas Massie, Don Bacon, Brian Fitzpatrick, Dan Newhouse, Kevin Kiley and Jeff Hurd backed the measure, while Democrat Jared Golden voted no.
  • A failed GOP procedural bid to extend a moratorium on tariff-challenge votes cleared the way for the floor action, exposing strains within a one-seat Republican majority.
  • The resolution now moves to the Senate and would face a likely presidential veto, making an override improbable without two‑thirds support in both chambers.
  • The Supreme Court is considering the legality of the administration’s emergency tariff authority as Trump warns GOP defectors of electoral consequences and opponents cite higher consumer costs.
