[U.S. House of Representatives Rejects Tariffs on Canada, 6 Republicans Defect] According to Jintou News, the Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill aimed at ending Trump's tariffs on Canada. This indicates growing anxiety over the White House's economic agenda as the midterm elections, centered on the cost of living, approach. Although Trump has threatened to veto similar measures, making it nearly impossible for the bill to become law, the defection of 6 Republicans and the opposition of nearly all Democrats highlight the increasingly fragile control Trump has over the House's slim majority. Republicans are striving to maintain control of both the House and Senate in November's elections, but this task is becoming increasingly difficult due to Trump's declining approval ratings on economic and immigration issues. During the vote, Trump made it clear that any Republican defying him on the tariff issue would face political consequences.
