U.S. House Votes to End Trump’s Tariffs on Canadian Imports

Wednesday Night, February 11, 2026

Late Wednesday night, February 11, 2026, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 219–211 to advance a resolution to end President Donald Trump's tariffs imposed on Canadian imports. While this is a major step in Congress, the measure still must pass the U.S. Senate and survive a potential veto from Trump.

Around the time of the vote, Trump posted on Truth Social that:

“Canada has taken advantage of the United States on Trade for many years. They are among the worst in the World to deal with, especially as it relates to our Northern Border.”

His comments reflect ongoing tensions over cross-border trade policy.

This debate comes as Canada pursues a strategy of diversifying its international trade relationships beyond the United States:

Trump reacted sharply to the China partnership on Truth Social, stating:

“Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China — which will eat Canada alive. We’ll just get the leftovers! I don’t think so.”

In the same post he joked that:

“The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup.”

As the Senate now considers the House resolution, this moment highlights how trade policy, geopolitics, and Canada’s evolving global strategy are intersecting in ways that could reshape North American economic relations.
