House Democrats to force vote on blocking Trump’s Canada tariffs this week
House Democrats aim to repeal tariffs imposed under a national emergency, citing harm to businesses and strained U.S.-Canada relations, with a close vote expected this week.
- A House aide told The Hill the plan is to call up a resolution this week to block President Trump's Canada tariffs, with a vote planned for Wednesday, but timing could change.
- After House Republican leaders last month declined to extend a prohibition on calling snap tariff-repeal votes, Rep. Gregory W. Meeks will sponsor resolutions to terminate national emergencies justifying tariffs on Canada and Mexico.
- A House aide says the vote has a good chance of succeeding, with Democrats needing to flip two GOP members, and if the House passes it, the measure could clear the Senate and reach the president's desk.
- While a veto is presumed, Democrats expect to highlight major pushback against tariffs, which have strained U.S.-Canada relations after the border national emergency and escalated rhetoric, according to a House aide.
- The House rules committee advanced a July 31 block on overturning tariff votes, while GOP leaders declined extension due to opposition from Don Bacon and Kevin Kiley , and a Supreme Court decision on the national emergency statute could complicate votes.
