The U.S. House of Representatives on February 11 local time narrowly passed a resolution with 219 votes in favor and 211 votes against, calling for the termination of punitive tariffs imposed by Trump on Canadian goods. In this vote, 6 Republican lawmakers rarely "crossed the aisle" to support the resolution, highlighting divisions within the Republican Party. The Trump administration imposed tariffs in 2025 citing "insufficient control of fentanyl," invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, while the House believed this move was an abuse of national emergency powers. Although the resolution has been submitted to the Senate, analysts suggest it may ultimately be vetoed by Trump. This event reflects the escalating bipartisan struggle ahead of the U.S. midterm elections and the negative impact of tariff policies on domestic inflation and livelihoods.
