The House voted 219 to 211 to overturn President Trump’s tariffs on Canada, with six Republicans joining nearly all Democrats in the decision, although it may be vetoed by the president. The measure, introduced by Democratic Rep. Gregory Meeks, seeks to terminate the national emergency declared by Trump to justify the tariffs. House Speaker Mike Johnson cautioned against congressional intervention, emphasizing the effectiveness of tariffs in U.S. trade policy. Trump warned Republicans against defying him, asserting that such actions could have electoral consequences.
