House Passes Bill to Repeal Trump’s Tariffs on Canada

HeadlineFeb 12, 2026

The House of Representatives has approved a bill that seeks to repeal President Trump’s declaration of a national emergency to impose punitive tariffs on Canada. Six Republicans joined nearly all Democrats in supporting the resolution, which appears to have enough support to pass the Senate. President Trump signaled he’s prepared to veto the bill and plans to punish defectors. Trump wrote on social media, “Any Republican, in the House or the Senate, that votes against TARIFFS will seriously suffer the consequences come Election time, and that includes Primaries!”
