众议院投票废除特朗普对加拿大关税,6名共和党人加入民主党阵营

Washington — 周三,众议院以219票对211票通过决议,推翻了特朗普总统对加拿大征收的关税。此次投票中,6名共和党人与几乎所有民主党人联手,谴责了总统贸易议程中的这一核心支柱。

民主党提出的撤销关税议案以219票对211票的结果通过。

然而,该决议的通过在很大程度上具有象征意义,因为如果参议院通过,总统可能会否决它,而且该决议在众议院并未获得足以推翻总统否决的多数票。去年,参议院曾两次投票阻止特朗普对加拿大征收关税,当时有4名共和党人加入民主党阵营支持这些措施。

此次通过决议之前,周二加州共和党众议员凯文·凯利、肯塔基州托马斯·梅西和内布拉斯加州唐·培根与民主党人一起,否决了一项程序投票。该程序投票若通过,将禁止议员在7月前推翻总统的全面关税政策。数月来,众议院共和党领袖一直阻止议员就特朗普的关税授权进行投票,但针对关税的挑战禁令于1月到期。

周三投票中,华盛顿州共和党众议员丹·纽豪斯、宾夕法尼亚州布莱恩·菲茨帕特里克、科罗拉多州杰夫·赫德、凯利、梅西和培根与总统立场决裂。这一投票结果可能在11月中期选举中产生政治影响,多项民调显示美国人普遍反对全面关税政策。

众议院议长、路易斯安那州共和党人迈克·约翰逊以其微弱的多数席位,只能容忍一名共和党人叛投民主党。

“这就是拥有微弱多数的代价,”约翰逊周二晚间对记者表示。

缅因州共和党众议员贾里德·戈尔登是唯一反对该议案的民主党人。

投票结束前一刻,特朗普敦促共和党人不要在关税问题上与他决裂,警告任何投票反对其关税政策的议员“将在选举时,包括初选时,付出严重代价!”

“关税为我们带来了经济和国家安全,任何共和党人都不应破坏这一特权,”特朗普在Truth Social帖子中表示。

特朗普的警告与约翰逊在投票前几分钟对记者的言论形成对比。当被问及特朗普是否会对投票反对关税的共和党人感到不满时,约翰逊表示,他刚从白宫活动回来,特朗普“并不生气”。

“他明白发生了什么。这不会影响或改变他的政策。如果这些法案送到他那里,他会否决的,”约翰逊说。

该议案由纽约州民主党众议员格雷戈里·米克斯提出,旨在终止特朗普去年为对加拿大征收关税而宣布的国家紧急状态。特朗普指责加拿大未能解决非法移民和毒品走私问题。此后,随着这两个盟友关系恶化,特朗普继续威胁要对加拿大加征更多关税。

总统还威胁或对数十个国家加征更高关税,以解决他认为的不公平贸易行为。民主党人可能很快会迫使就其他国家关税问题进行投票。

11月,最高法院似乎对特朗普单方面征收关税的权力表示怀疑,该争议的裁决可能随时公布。

约翰逊辩称,国会不应干预这一过程或挑战特朗普的经济策略。

“关税是总统有效利用的工具,用以实现公平竞争,让美国重新领先。我认为国会介入其中是错误的。此外,别忘了,这一问题正待美国最高法院裁决,”约翰逊在周三接受福克斯商业频道采访时表示。“所以,我认为我们需要暂停国会对这一问题的考虑,不要阻碍总统及其目标的实现。”

周三在众议院辩论中,民主党人坚持认为特朗普的贸易战对美国人造成了灾难性影响,并质疑共和党为何将国会权力让渡给白宫。

“你们会投票降低美国家庭的生活成本,还是会为了忠于某个人(唐纳德·J·特朗普)而维持高物价?”米克斯问道。

共和党人指责民主党淡化芬太尼危机,并辩称关税是促使其他国家优先考虑美国利益的有效策略。

“这是民主党试图忽视芬太尼危机的表现,”佛罗里达州共和党众议员布莱恩·马斯特表示。“关税比措辞严厉的信件更引人注目,数百万美国人的生命因特朗普总统宣布这一国家紧急状态并迫使我们的邻国(如加拿大)采取行动而得到挽救。”

House votes to rescind Trump’s Canada tariffs, with 6 Republicans joining Democrats

2026-02-11T18:21:00-0500 / CBS News

Washington — The House voted on Wednesday to overturn President Trump’s tariffs on Canada after six Republicans sided with nearly all Democrats to rebuke one pillar of the president’s trade agenda.

The Democratic measure to roll back the levies passed in a 219 to 211 vote.

However, the resolution’s passage is largely symbolic, since it could be vetoed by the president if it clears the Senate, and it did not pass the House with a veto-proof majority. The upper chamber voted twice last year to block Mr. Trump from imposing tariffs on Canada, with four Republicans joining Democrats to approve the measures.

Its passage comes after GOP Reps. Kevin Kiley of California, Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Don Bacon of Nebraska voted with Democrats on Tuesday to sink a procedural vote that would have barred lawmakers from overturning the president’s sweeping tariffs through July. For months, House GOP leaders have blocked lawmakers from forcing votes on Mr. Trump’s tariff authority, but the ban on challenging the levies expired in January.

Republican Reps. Dan Newhouse of Washington, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Jeff Hurd of Colorado, Kiley, Massie and Bacon broke with the president in Wednesday’s vote on an issue that could have political ramifications in the November midterm elections. Poll after poll has shown that Americans largely disapprove of the sweeping tariffs.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, could only afford one defection with his paper-thin majority.

“This is life with a small majority,” Johnson told reporters Tuesday night.

Rep. Jared Golden of Maine was the sole Democrat to oppose the measure.

Moments before the vote wrapped up, Mr. Trump pushed Republicans not to break with him on tariffs,warning thatany lawmaker who votes against his tariff policies “will seriously suffer the consequences come Election time, and that includes Primaries!”

“TARIFFS have given us Economic and National Security, and no Republican should be responsible for destroying this privilege,” he said in a Truth Social post.

Mr. Trump’s warning stands in contrast to comments Johnson made to reporters minutes before the vote. When asked if Mr. Trump would be upset with Republicans who voted against tariffs, Johnson said he had just come from an event at the White House and Mr. Trump was “not upset.”

“He understands what’s going on. It’s not going to affect or change his policy. He can veto these things if they come to him,” Johnson said.

The measure, introduced by Democratic Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York, would terminate the national emergency declared by Mr. Trump last year to justify tariffs on Canada. Mr. Trump accused Canada of failing to address illegal migration and drug trafficking. Since then, Mr. Trump has continued to threaten additional tariffs against Canada as relations between the two allies sour.

The president has also threatened or imposed higher tariffs on dozens of other countries to resolve what he views as unfair trade practices. Democrats could soon force votes challenging tariffs on other countries.

In November, the Supreme Court appeared skeptical of Mr. Trump’s authority to unilaterally impose tariffs and its decision in the dispute could come any day.

Johnson has argued that Congress shouldn’t intervene in the process or challenge Mr. Trump’s economic strategy.

“The tariffs have been a tool that the president has used very effectively to level the playing field and put America back on top, and I think it’s wrong for Congress to step in the middle of that. Also, remember, this is pending at the U.S. Supreme Court,” Johnson said in an interview Wednesday on Fox Business. “So, I just think we need to pause Congress’s consideration of this and not get in the way of the president and what he’s trying to achieve.”

During floor debate on Wednesday, Democrats maintained that Mr. Trump’s trade war has been disastrous for Americans and questioned why Republicans have ceded congressional authority to the White House.

“Will you vote to lower the cost of living for the American families, or will you keep prices high out of loyalty to one person, Donald J. Trump?” Meeks asked.

Republicans accused Democrats of downplaying the fentanyl crisis and argued tariffs have been an effective strategy to get countries to act in favor of U.S. priorities.

“This is Democrats trying to ignore that there is a fentanyl crisis,” Republican Rep. Brian Mast of Florida said. “Tariffs get more attention than strongly worded letters, and millions of Americans’ lives are being saved because President Trump has declared this national emergency and is actively forcing our neighbors, like Canada, to act.”
