WASHINGTON, D.C. (RFD NEWS) — House lawmakers voted 219–211 to repeal President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada, with six Republicans joining most Democrats in support of the measure. The bill now heads to the Senate, which has passed a similar proposal, though neither effort currently holds a veto-proof majority.
RealAg Radio host Shaun Haney joined us to break down what the House vote means and whether the move is largely symbolic or signals a broader shift in trade policy discussions.
In his interview with RFD NEWS, Haney addressed what the vote could mean for farmers in the near term, especially given expectations that the Senate is unlikely to take further action and that a presidential veto is almost certain. He also discussed the President’s recent comments on the new Gordie Howe International Bridge and how Trump’s statements are being received north of the border.
