The House on Wednesday voted to block President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada, with six Republicans joining the Democrats in the symbolic rebuke.
The resolution to disapprove of the national emergency Trump declared to raise tariffs on Canada, was approved 219-211. Republican Reps. Kevin Kiley of California, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Don Bacon of Nebraska, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Jeff Hurd of Colorado and Dan Newhouse of Washington voted against the tariffs. Rep. Jared Golden of Maine was the only Democrat to oppose the measure.
Trump threatened those in his party who voted against his tariffs in a Truth Social post moments before the vote was finalized.
“Any Republican, in the House or the Senate, that votes against TARIFFS will seriously suffer the consequences come Election time, and that includes Primaries!” Trump wrote.
