In a House vote to repeal President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada, six Republicans joined nearly all Democrats in voting to end the national emergency the president declared on America’s northern neighbor last year.
The 219-211 vote to terminate the national emergency, established last February, that allowed Trump to impose 25% tariffs on imports from Canada, marked a significant GOP defection on trade. Reps. Don Bacon (R-NE), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Jeff Hurd (R-CO), Kevin Kiley (R-CA), Thomas Massie (R-KY), and Dan Newhouse (R-WA) all voted to repeal the tariffs.
