Donald Trump faced a sharp and very public setback after the House voted 219–211 to block his 25% tariffs on Canada 🇨🇦. Six Republicans broke ranks to join Democrats, rejecting his use of a “national emergency” to justify the trade move.

As the vote unfolded, Trump warned GOP lawmakers of political consequences if they opposed him 📱⚠️ — but Reps. Don Bacon, Thomas Massie, Kevin Kiley, Jeff Hurd, Dan Newhouse, and Brian Fitzpatrick did not back down.

Critics argue there is no true national emergency, noting that less than 0.1% of fentanyl entering the U.S. comes from Canada, while businesses and farmers warn the tariffs could raise prices and threaten jobs 💼📉.

Though the measure is largely symbolic and likely to face a veto, the vote exposed visible cracks within the Republican Party — and may signal broader debates ahead over trade, executive power, and party loyalty.
