House votes to end Canada tariffs in rare rebuke of Trump
The Republican-controlled House has narrowly approved a measure disapproving of President Trump’s tariffs on Canada. The final vote of 219 to 211 was a rare rebuke of the president and GOP House leaders. Six Republicans joined all but one Democrat in favor of a resolution to terminate the president’s use of a national emergency to put punitive trade measures on Canadian goods. The resolution stands a good chance of passage in the Senate. However, it’s unlikely to become law, since it would take two-thirds majorities in both chambers to overcome an expected White House veto.
