US House backs measure to end tariffs on CanadaReuters, WASHINGTONThe US House of Representatives on Wednesday narrowly backed a measure disapproving of US President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada, a rare rebuke of the president and leaders of his party in the Republican-majority House. It was an important symbolic vote in the chamber, where Trump’s Republicans hold a slim 218-214 majority. The House approved the resolution a day after three Republicans joined Democrats to narrowly defeat an effort by Republican leaders to block legislative challenges to Trump’s tariffs. Canada is our ally,” Meeks, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said in a speech before the vote. Last month, the Yale Budget Lab said the annual median cost of the Trump administration’s tariffs was about US$1,400 for each US household.
