House backs bid to block Canada tariffs in rebuke of Trump<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n

Hello and welcome to the US politics<\/a> live blog. My name is Tom Ambrose and I\u2019ll be bringing you all the latest news lines over the next few hours.<\/p>\n

We start with news that the House has voted to rescind tariffs that Donald Trump<\/a> imposed on Canada last year<\/strong>, in what has been seen as a rare bipartisan rebuke of the White House\u2019s trade policy.<\/p>\n

The largely symbolic resolution to disapprove of the national emergency Trump declared to impose tariffs on Canada<\/a> passed 219 to 211, with six Republicans \u2013 Don Bacon of Nebraska, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Kevin Kiley of California, Dan Newhouse of Washington and Jeff Hurd of Colorado \u2013 voting with all Democrats except Jared Golden of Maine, who voted against it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny Republican, in the House or the Senate, that votes against TARIFFS will seriously suffer the consequences come Election time, and that includes Primaries!\u201d Trump warned on Truth Social before the vote was finalized, adding:<\/p>\n

\n

<\/svg>TARIFFS have given us Economic and National Security, and no Republican should be responsible for destroying this privilege.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Undoing Trump\u2019s tariff policy would ultimately require his approval, which was unlikely. On Wednesday, he warned Republicans against voting for the resolution, which GOP leaders had worked to forestall. The measure next goes to the Senate.<\/p>\n

House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries said Trump\u2019s tariffs were \u201ccausing prices to skyrocket and creating unnecessary uncertainty for American families\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor months, sycophantic Republicans in the House have tried to block us from acting on behalf of the American people,\u201d Jeffries said in a statement after the resolution was approved. \u201cToday, House Democrats forced a successful vote to detonate the Trump tariffs<\/a> on Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n
