iPolitics reports that:
Sure, it was symbolic but a rebuke of the White House’s tariff policy from the Republican-controlled House of Representatives is turning heads.
The House voted Wednesday to slap back President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada, with a few Republicans joining Democrats over the objections of GOP leadership.
The tally, 219-211, was among the first times the House, controlled by Republicans, has confronted the president over a signature policy, and drew instant recrimination from Trump himself.
The resolution seeks to end the national emergency Trump declared to impose the tariffs, though actually undoing the policy would require support from the president, which is highly unlikely. It next goes to the Senate.
President of the United States: Donald J. Trump – for how much longer.
Has the tariff matter reached a tipping point?
The US Supreme Court is city on a decision as to whether or not the tariffs were legal in the first place.
Ontario’s economy hangs on what happens in the next week or so.
