The House of Representatives passed a resolution to rescind tariffs that Donald Trump imposed on Canada last year, in a rare bipartisan rebuke of the former president's trade policy. The resolution passed 219 to 211, with six Republicans joining Democrats in voting to disapprove of the national emergency Trump declared to impose the tariffs. Trump warned Republicans against voting for the resolution, stating that tariffs have given the US economic and national security. House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries said Trump’s tariffs were causing prices to skyrocket. The measure now goes to the Senate, but undoing Trump’s tariff policy would ultimately require his approval.
