Key Points

This resolution officially ends a national emergency that was declared in April 2025. That emergency declaration was used as the legal basis to put broad taxes, known as tariffs, on goods coming into the United States from other countries.
From policy text
“the national emergency declared on April 2, 2025, by the President in Executive Order 14257 (90 Fed. Reg. 15041) is terminated”
View in full text
By ending the emergency, Congress is moving to stop these global tariffs. This could lead to lower prices for many imported products, such as electronics, clothing, and car parts, which often become more expensive for shoppers when tariffs are in place.
From policy text
“Terminating the national emergency declared to impose global tariffs.”

The move is a way for Congress to exercise its power over trade policy. While the President has extra authority during a national emergency, this bill uses a specific law to declare that this particular emergency is over.
From policy text
“pursuant to section 202 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622), the national emergency declared on April 2, 2025, by the President in Executive Order 14257 (90 Fed. Reg. 15041) is terminated”
View in full text
If this resolution becomes law, the emergency and the related tariffs would end immediately. To fully take effect, it must pass both the Senate and the House of Representatives and then be signed by the President.
From policy text
“is terminated effective on the date of the enactment of this joint resolution.”
