A bipartisan measure repealing President Donald Trump’s tariffs against Canada passed the House on Wednesday, a significant step by Congress to rebuke a key part of the commander in chief’s economic agenda.
In a 219-211 vote, the House moved to end the national emergency Trump declared on America’s northern neighbor last year. The emergency declaration allowed the president to impose tariffs on Canadian goods and imports. Six Republicans joined nearly all Democrats to back the measure. One Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME), voted against repealing the emergency.
