Republican leaders seek to extend ban on Trump tariff repeal votes

House Republican leaders are trying to extend a prohibition on votes in the House that would overturn tariffs from President Donald Trump.

The rules committee advanced legislation on Monday night that would block votes to overturn the tariffs on countries such as Canada, China, and Mexico, among others, through July 31. The previous ban, which expired at the end of January, had prevented several Democratic-led resolutions that sought to repeal tariffs for months.
