Key Points

  • Congress is moving to end a national emergency that was declared in February 2025. This emergency was used as a legal reason to put extra taxes, known as duties or tariffs, on products coming into the U.S. from Canada.
  • If this resolution becomes law, it would cancel those extra taxes. This could lower the cost of many items that American businesses and families buy from Canada, such as building materials, energy, and food products.
  • The resolution uses the National Emergencies Act to stop the President's earlier executive order. By ending the "emergency" status, the government would no longer have the special power to keep these specific trade penalties in place.
  • This action marks a shift in trade policy, moving away from using emergency powers to manage imports from one of America's closest trading partners. It aims to restore more predictable trade rules between the two countries.

House of Representatives votes on whether to pass the resolution

If the House passes it, the resolution goes to the President's desk. If the President vetoes it, Congress would need a two-thirds vote in both chambers to override. Until this clears, the tariffs remain in place.
