Global Daily Tax News, US House Adopts Resolution Calling For End To Canada Tariffs, (Feb 13, 2026)

The US House of Representatives has approved a Joint Resolution to terminate the national emergency earlier declared to authorize the introduction of tariffs on imports from Canada.

US President Donald Trump declared the national emergency on February 1, 2025, to impose an additional 25-percent tariff on most imports from Canada, except for Canadian energy or energy resources, which were made liable to an additional 10 percent tariff.

The same February 1, 2025, national emergency announcement included the introduction of a 25 percent tariff rate on goods from Mexico and a 10 percent tariff rate on goods from China.

Despite threats from the President of retaliation against Republican lawmakers supporting the Resolution ahead of the vote, the Joint Resolution was approved by 219 votes to 211, with support from six Republican lawmakers. It will now pass to the Senate. The vote is seen as symbolic, as the Resolution may be vetoed by President Trump.
