The Republican-controlled House voted 216-214 this week to block efforts to challenge President Trump’s tariffs, delaying any action for the rest of the year. This decision halts a Democratic-sponsored attempt to revoke tariffs on Canada and Mexico, with some lawmakers expressing concern about the economic consequences of Trump’s tariff policies. Trump has argued that the tariffs address unbalanced trade relations and illegal narcotics. House Speaker Mike Johnson defended the vote, stating it was an appropriate balance of powers. The vote also modifies how the House will count days in 2025, preventing a fast-track process for future challenges to Trump’s emergency powers used for tariffs.
