House 219-211 Votes Against Trump's Proposed Tariffs on Canada Under USMCA

House Foreign Affairs Committee on February 11, 2026, passed a 219-211 vote opposing President Trump's proposed 35% tariffs on Canadian goods not covered by the USMCA exemption, with 6 Republican cosponsors and 1 Democratic naysayer. The measure, now heading to the Senate with a likely path to override, may still be vetoed by the White House. The administration invoked the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, citing Canada's failure to curb narcotics trafficking, and threatened to raise tariffs to 50% or 100%. Market reaction was immediate, with oil prices surging over 2% on a single day as uncertainty escalated. The USMCA faces renewed risk after reports Trump is considering splitting the agreement into bilateral pacts and revisiting origin rules. If the pact unravels, supply chains could face disruption, with automotive costs in the U.S. rising数千 dollars and broader economic integration at stake. The vote reflects growing GOP分歧 over Trump's trade approach and adds a key political dimension to the 2026 midterms.
