Six Republicans Join Democrats To Overturn Trump’s Canada Tariffs

The House of Representatives voted Wednesday evening to terminate President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada after six Republicans crossed party lines to support the measure.

Lawmakers voted 219-211 to pass the resolution of disapproval eliminating Trump’s emergency powers underpinning his 25% tariff on Canadian goods levied in February 2025. Democratic New York Rep. Gregory Meeks forced a vote on the measure after House Republican leadership failed to pass a rule Tuesday night that would block lawmakers from challenging Trump’s tariffs.

House Speaker Mike Johnson could afford to spare just one defection in party-line vote given Republicans’ razor-thin majority in the lower chamber.

Republicans who bucked the president to support the resolution of disapproval include Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, a libertarian-leaning lawmaker with a Trump-endorsed primary challenger, and pro-free trade Reps. Don Bacon of Nebraska, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Dan Newhouse of Washington, Kevin Kiley of California and Jeff Hurd of Colorado. Bacon and Newhouse are not seeking reelection in 2026.

Retiring Maine Rep. Jared Golden was the lone Democrat to oppose the resolution terminating Trump’s Canada tariffs.

Two Republicans did not vote.

The vote is largely symbolic, though a similar resolution is expected to pass the Senate by a comfortable margin. The upper chamber approve a similar resolution in October after four Republicans crossed party lines in disapproval of Trump’s Canada tariffs.
