Six Republicans joined most Democrats in the House of Representatives on Wednesday and voted to end President Trump’s emergency tariffs on Canada, a rare bipartisan congressional challenge to the president’s agenda.
“For months, Republicans blocked a vote on Trump’s illegal tariffs, choosing procedural games over their responsibility to the people they represent,” Rep. Gregory Meeks, Democrat of New York, who sponsored the resolution, wrote in a statement. “Today, Democrats, joined by several Republicans, were able to force that vote and put Republicans on record. The question was simple: stand with working families and lower costs, or keep prices high out of loyalty to Donald Trump?”
