US House Votes to Repeal Trump’s Canada Tariffs as Six Republicans Break Ranks

WASHINGTON — The US House of Representatives voted Wednesday to overturn President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada, as six Republicans joined nearly all Democrats in opposing a central element of his trade agenda.

The Democratic-backed resolution passed 219–211. While largely symbolic, the measure could face a presidential veto if it advances in the Senate, as it does not hold a veto-proof majority in the House.

Last year, the Senate twice blocked Trump from imposing tariffs on Canada, with four Republicans joining Democrats. On Tuesday, Republican Reps. Kevin Kiley (CA), Thomas Massie (KY), and Don Bacon (NE) joined Democrats to defeat a procedural measure that would have delayed a vote on overturning the tariffs through July.

Wednesday’s vote saw Republican Reps. Dan Newhouse (WA), Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), and Jeff Hurd (CO) join Kiley, Massie, and Bacon in breaking with the president—potentially significant as the November midterm elections approach.

In a statement on Truth Social, Trump warned lawmakers who opposed the tariffs that they would “seriously suffer the consequences come Election time.” He emphasized the economic and national security benefits of tariffs, noting reductions in the trade deficit and historic stock market gains, and criticized Canada for exploiting the United States in trade.
