BREAKING: House Votes to Terminate Trump’s Tariffs on Canada – Here Are the Six Republicans Who Voted with the Dems

The House of Representatives on Wednesday evening voted 219 to 211 to terminate President Trump’s tariffs on Canada.

Six Republicans voted to overturn Trump’s tariffs on Canada.

Thomas Massie, Don Bacon, Brian Fitzpatrick, Jeff Hurd, Kevin Kiley, and Dan Newhouse joined the Democrats.

The vote is likely dead on arrival in the Senate.

If the measure cleared the Senate, President Trump would veto it right away.

The Democrats effectively control the House of Representatives since the Republicans have such a razor-thin margin.

With RINOs Thomas Massie, Don Bacon, Fitzpatrick, and others, House Speaker Mike Johnson has no room for error.

The Senate last year voted in favor of similar measures to overturn President Trump’s tariffs on Canada.

In October, for the second time, the Senate voted to repeal President Trump’s tariffs on Canada.

Four RINOs voted with the Democrats: Rand Paul (KY), Mitch McConnell (KY), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Susan Collins (ME).

President Trump late last year increased tariffs on Canada by 10% over what they are paying now after the government of Ontario played the deceptive Ronald Reagan ad during the World Series.

Trump increased the tariffs on Canada after he terminated all trade negotiations with them over the anti-tariff ad.

Shortly before the vote on Wednesday evening, Trump called on Republicans to support his tariffs on Canada.

“Canada has taken advantage of the United States on Trade for many years. They are among the worst in the World to deal with, especially as it relates to our Northern Border. TARIFFS make a WIN for us, EASY. Republicans must keep it that way! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP” Trump said on Truth Social.
