#TrumpCanadaTariffsOverturned
The US House of Representatives has voted to overturn President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada, with six Republican lawmakers joining Democrats in the 219-211 vote. This move is largely symbolic, as the resolution still needs to pass through the Senate and be signed by Trump, who has threatened to veto it.
Trump had imposed the tariffs citing national security concerns and fentanyl trafficking, but critics argue they're a "net negative" for the US economy, hurting consumers, manufacturers, and farmers. The tariffs have also strained US-Canada relations, with Canada recently agreeing to eliminate retaliatory tariffs on US goods.
Key Players:
- _Donald Trump_: US President, imposed tariffs on Canada
- _Mark Carney_: Canadian Prime Minister, working to resolve trade tensions
- _Gregory Meeks_: Democratic Congressman, introduced resolution to overturn tariffs
