On February 11–12, 2026, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution to overturn the tariffs on Canadian goods previously imposed by Donald Trump.
The vote was narrow and bipartisan, with several Republican lawmakers joining Democrats in supporting the repeal. The move represents a rare political rebuke of Trump’s trade policy.
However, the resolution is expected to face a presidential veto, and it is unlikely that Congress has the two-thirds majority required to override that veto.
📌 Background & Impact
The tariffs were implemented under a national emergency declaration, which drew criticism from some members of Congress.
Lawmakers argued the tariffs had strained U.S.–Canada trade relations and risked raising consumer prices and disrupting cross-border supply chains.
The vote reflects cross-party dissatisfaction with the use of executive authority in trade policy.
