The US House of Representatives voted 219-211 to rescind tariffs imposed on Canada by former President Donald Trump. Six Republicans joined Democrats in supporting the resolution, which aims to end tariffs Trump enacted last year. The vote is largely symbolic, as the bill must still pass the Senate and receive presidential approval, which is unlikely given Trump's strong support for tariffs. Trump warned Republicans against voting against tariffs, claiming they provide economic and national security. Democrat Gregory Meeks introduced the measure, arguing that Trump "weaponized tariffs" against allies and destabilized the global economy. The bill now moves to the Senate, where its future is uncertain.
