House votes 219-211 to terminate Trump's Canada tariffs in bipartisan rebuke
The House of Representatives voted 219 to 211 on February 11, 2026 to terminate the tariffs President Trump had imposed on Canada under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, citing an alleged fentanyl emergency. Six Republicans crossed the aisle to join nearly all Democrats; only Rep. Jared Golden of Maine opposed the resolution from the Democratic side. The joint resolution was led by Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York and advanced to the Senate, where Trump vowed to veto it and threatened primary challenges against any Republican who voted against his tariffs.
