US House backs bid to block Canada tariffs in rebuke of Trump
AI Summary
The US House of Representatives voted 219-211 to block tariffs imposed on Canada by then-President Donald Trump, a rare instance of Republicans joining Democrats to challenge his trade policy. The resolution seeks to end the national emergency declaration Trump used to justify the tariffs, arguing they harm American consumers. The vote reflects growing unease in the House regarding the economic impact of trade wars, particularly before the midterm elections. While the Senate has also voted against the tariffs, overturning them requires approval from both chambers and the current President's signature, making it unlikely. House Speaker Mike Johnson attempted to prevent the vote, but his efforts failed due to Republican defections.
