House votes to end Trump’s tariffs on Canada

WASHINGTON — The Republican-led House voted Wednesday to terminate President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada as six GOP lawmakers joined Democrats in a largely symbolic rebuke of the administration’s trade policy.

The measure passed in a 219-211 vote. Only one Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden of Maine, opposed it.

The joint resolution led by Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., will now head to the Senate for consideration.

Trump on Wednesday threatened political retribution for any Republicans who oppose his tariff policies.

“Any Republican, in the House or the Senate, that votes against TARIFFS will seriously suffer the consequences come Election time, and that includes Primaries!” Trump said in a Truth Social post around the same time as the House vote. “TARIFFS have given us Economic and National Security, and no Republican should be responsible for destroying this privilege.”

The House Republicans who voted for the resolution included Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Kevin Kiley of California, Don Bacon of Nebraska, Dan Newhouse of Washington, Jeff Hurd of Colorado and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania.
