共和党领导的众议院对特朗普的加拿大关税政策予以重大驳斥
周三晚间，共和党领导的众议院通过了一项决议，撤销唐纳德·特朗普总统对加拿大实施的关税政策——这是对总统贸易政策的重大驳斥。
六名共和党人与几乎所有民主党人一起，以219票赞成、211票反对的结果通过了这项法案。
投赞成票的共和党人包括众议员唐·培根、布莱恩·菲茨帕特里克、丹·纽豪斯、杰夫·赫德、托马斯·马西和凯文·基利。众议员贾里德·戈登是唯一投反对票的民主党人。
该法案现已提交至参议院，但其命运尚不确定。
特朗普周三晚间在社交媒体上发文称，任何投票撤销他所实施关税的共和党人都将面临后果，包括可能在初选中失利。
特朗普警告称：“任何在众议院或参议院投票反对关税的共和党人，在选举时，包括初选，都将面临严重后果。”
此次众议院通过法案，是在众议院议长迈克·约翰逊周二晚遭遇另一场尴尬失利之后发生的。当时，三名叛逆的共和党人投票支持周三进行关税议题表决，尽管约翰逊长期努力阻止众议院审议关税问题。
这项由众议院外交事务委员会首席民主党人格雷戈里·米克斯提出的法案，迫使众议院议员首次就特朗普的关税和贸易政策公开表态。
该法案将终止特朗普为证明其对加拿大加征关税合理性而宣布的紧急状态。近期，还可能就阻止总统对包括墨西哥在内的多个国家加征关税进行投票。
尽管关税法案已在众议院获得通过，但如果参议院也采取同样行动，特朗普很可能会否决该法案。
约翰逊周三上午在福克斯商业频道上表示，国会不应干涉特朗普的关税政策。
约翰逊说：“我认为这是个大错误。我认为，在总统正忙于谈判‘美国优先’贸易协议之际，我们不应试图限制他的权力。”他还补充说，关税“对经济大有裨益”。
他提到美国最高法院正在审理的关税案件，并表示国会应允许该程序继续进行。
一年来，众议院共和党领导人一直努力阻止此类关税法案提交众议院审议，但周二晚的失败投票为全面推翻总统关税的众议院投票打开了大门。
三名共和党人——众议员凯文·基利、唐·培根和托马斯·马西——不顾本党反对，击败了程序性努力，该努力以214票赞成、217票反对的微弱差距失败。
培根周三在X(原推特)上发帖称：“国会对关税负有宪法第一条规定的责任。我们不能也不应将责任外包。作为一名老派保守派，我知道关税是对美国消费者的征税。我知道有人不同意。但这场辩论和投票应该在众议院进行。”
该法案将返回参议院，去年10月，参议院议员曾就取消特朗普部分关税的类似决议进行投票。
当时，一些参议院共和党人与民主党人一起，对总统的贸易政策予以驳斥。
GOP-led House delivers major rebuke of Trump's Canada tariffs
The GOP-led House on Wednesday evening passed a resolution to rescind President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada -- delivering a major rebuke of the president’s trade policy.
Six Republicans joined nearly all Democrats to help pass the measure by a vote of 219-211.
The Republicans included Reps. Don Bacon, Brian Fitzpatrick, Dan Newhouse, Jeff Hurd, Thomas Massie and Kevin Kiley. Rep. Jared Golden was the only Democrat to vote no.
The bill now heads to the Senate where its fate is uncertain.
Trump said in a social media post Wednesday night that any Republicans who voted to rescind tariffs that he’s implemented will face consequences, including potential primaries.
"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.
House passage comes after another embarrassing defeat Tuesday night for Speaker Mike Johnson at the hands of three rebellious Republicans who voted to go forward with Wednesday's vote despite Johnson's longstanding effort to block the House from considering the tariff issue.
The legislation, led by the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rep. Gregory Meeks, forced House lawmakers to go on the record for the first time on Trump’s tariffs and trade policy.
The measure would end the emergency declaration Trump used to justify his Canada tariffs. Additional votes are possible in the near future to block tariffs imposed by the president against several other countries, including Mexico.
Even though the tariff vote has cleared the House, Trump is likely to veto the measure -- if the Senate follows suit.
Johnson argued on Fox Business Wednesday morning that Congress should not be getting in the way of Trump’s tariffs.
"I think it's a big mistake. I don't think we need to go down the road of trying to limit the president's power while he is in the midst of negotiating America first trade agreements," Johnson said, adding that tariffs have "done great for the economy."
He pointed to the tariff case pending before the U.S. Supreme Court -- arguing that Congress should allow that process to play out.
House Republican leaders have fought for a year to block such a tariff vote from hitting the House floor, but the failed vote Tuesday night opened the door to full House votes on overturning the president’s tariffs.
Three Republicans -- Reps. Kevin Kiley, Don Bacon and Thomas Massie -- bucked their own party to defeat the procedural effort that narrowly failed by a vote of 214-217.
Bacon posted on X Wednesday, "Congress has Article One Constitutional responsibilities on tariffs. We cannot&should not outsource our responsibilities. As an old fashioned Conservative I know tariffs are a tax on American consumers. I know some disagree. But this debate and vote should occur in the House."
The measure heads back to the Senate where last October lawmakersvotedon similar resolutions to cancel some of Trump’s tariffs.
At the time, some Senate Republicans joined Democrats to rebuke the president’s trade policy.
