The vote would end the national emergency Trump declared last year that authorized those tariffs, with six Republicans joining nearly all Democrats in support and one Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden, opposing it. <\/p>\n<p>The backdrop includes a February 2025 national emergency that imposed a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico and a 10% tariff on China, with Canada\u2019s rate rising to 35% in July 2025 and further increases announced in October. Democrats had sought to repeal more tariffs, but the Senate had already acted to repeal Brazil and \u201cLiberation Day\u201d tariffs; because House and Senate versions differ, a conference or new legislation would be needed, and Trump would likely veto any repeal. Republicans argued the tariffs help curb fentanyl, while democrats say the president is overstepping Congress\u2019s authority. Public opinion appears unfavorable toward the tariffs, with a NYT\/Siena poll showing 54% oppose them and 51% say the policies have made life less affordable.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">House votes to repeal Trump&rsquo;s Canada tariffs<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2502245\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A bipartisan measure repealing President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a>&rsquo;s <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tariffs\/\">tariffs<\/a> against <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/canada\/\">Canada<\/a> passed the House on Wednesday, a significant step by Congress to rebuke a key part of the commander in chief&rsquo;s economic agenda.<\/p>\n<p>In a 219-211 vote, the House moved to end the national emergency Trump declared on America&rsquo;s northern neighbor last year.

In October of that year, Trump announced he <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3864238\/trump-increases-tariff-canada-reagan-ad-re-airs\/\">would further increase the tariff rate<\/a> on Canada after one of its provinces, Ontario, launched an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senate-votes-to-undo-trumps-canada-tariffs\/\" title=\"... ... to undo ...\u2019s ...\">anti-tariff commercial invoking<\/a> former President Ronald Reagan.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats had filed a resolution to repeal the tariffs under the emergency shortly after they went into effect, but GOP leaders successfully blocked it. But with the ban having expired at the end of January, Democrats can now bring their bill up for a vote.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate voted on a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3868596\/senate-votes-undo-trump-canada-tariffs-second-rebuke\/\">separate bill to repeal Canada&rsquo;s tariffs<\/a> in October. Given the difference in the bills, the upper chamber would need to take up and pass Wednesday&rsquo;s legislation, sponsored by Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY), to send it to Trump&rsquo;s desk. Trump would likely veto any legislation to repeal tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>But House Democrats are prepared to force several votes in the coming days and weeks to end tariffs against countries such as Mexico and Brazil. They also want to end Trump&rsquo;s sweeping <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3369176\/trump-liberation-day-tariffs-what-to-know\/\">&ldquo;Liberation Day&rdquo; tariffs<\/a>, which imposed a 10% across-the-board tariff on all trading partners. Those tariffs did not apply to Canada, Mexico, Russia, North Korea, Cuba, or Belarus.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate voted on legislation to <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3867090\/senate-rebukes-trump-tariff-vote-jd-vance-warning\/\">repeal the Brazil<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/2025\/10\/30\/trump-tariffs-senate-vote\/\">Liberation Day tariffs<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans argued during debate on the tariff repeal bill that keeping the tariffs in place is important to prevent fentanyl from entering the United States.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I know we will never get to zero,&rdquo; Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) said of fentanyl deaths on the floor. &ldquo;All the president has asked Canada to do is show the kind of effort they can afford as a first-world country. &hellip; An effort should be shown, and if it&rsquo;s shown, the president&rsquo;s made it clear: These tariffs will immediately go away. So, this isn&rsquo;t a tariff that is just because you don&rsquo;t like someone.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Several Republicans have blasted Democrats for looking to tie Trump&rsquo;s hands, but Democrats and a handful of GOP lawmakers have expressed concerns that the president is overstepping his executive authority. Since Trump took office, he has sidestepped Congress on numerous policy decisions, despite areas such as tariffs constitutionally falling under the legislative branch&rsquo;s authority.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Ryan Mackenzie (R-PA), a centrist who represents a purple district, told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> on Tuesday that Congress had been turning over tariff power to the executive branch for &ldquo;a long time.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I think in some cases, there&rsquo;s actually good justification for that, because as we see, Congress is very dysfunctional nowadays,&rdquo; he said, noting that it would be difficult for Congress to respond quickly to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >rapidly changing trade practices coming<\/a> out of countries such as China.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;But, I think we do need to continue that discussion to figure out what the right balance is,&rdquo; Mackenzie said.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/4453558\/house-rule-vote-repeal-tariff-resolutions-ban\/\"><strong>HOUSE FAILS TO EXTEND BAN ON TRUMP TARIFF REPEAL VOTES IN MAJOR BLOW TO JOHNSON<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Democrats have pointed to the tariffs and subsequent &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trudeau-america-first-best-when-canada-mexico-also-prosper-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Trudeau: &#039;America First&#039; best when Canada, Mexico also prosper - Washington Examiner\">trade war&#038;rdquo<\/a>; as a harm to the economy.
