Rep. Sykes Statement on Vote to End Emergency Tariffs on Canada
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Representative Emilia Sykes (OH-13) voted for H.J. Res. 72 to terminate President Trump's national emergency declaration used to impose sweeping tariffs on Canada.
The resolution would block the president's order imposing tariffs on most Canadian imports under a claimed national emergency.
"Canada is one of our closest allies and one of Ohio's largest trading partners," said Rep. Sykes. "These tariffs act like a national sales tax on American families and create uncertainty for businesses across Northeast Ohio. We can address border security and drug trafficking without launching an economic fight with our allies. This vote is about protecting Ohio jobs, lowering costs, and restoring accountability."
The resolution passed the House and now moves to the Senate for consideration.
