Hello and welcome to the US politics live blog. My name is Tom Ambrose and I’ll be bringing you all the latest news lines over the next few hours. We start with news that the House has voted to rescind tariffs that Donald Trump imposed on Canada last year, in what has been seen as a rare bipartisan rebuke of the White House’s trade policy. The largely symbolic resolution to disapprove of the national emergency Trump declared to impose tariffs on Canada passed 219 to 211, with six Republicans – Don Bacon of Nebraska, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Kevin Kiley of California, Dan Newhouse of Washington and Jeff Hurd of Colorado – voting with all Democrats except Jared Golden of Maine, who voted against it.“Any Republican, in the House or the Senate, that votes against TARIFFS will seriously suffer the consequences come Election time, and that includes Primaries!” Trump warned on Truth Social before the vote was finalized, adding: TARIFFS have given us Economic and National Security, and no Republican should be responsible for destroying this privilege. Undoing Trump’s tariff policy would ultimately require his approval, which was unlikely.
