US House backs bid to end Canada tariffs in rare rebuke to Trump

WASHINGTON, Feb 11 (Reuters) - The U.S. House of ‌Representatives on Wednesday ‌narrowly backed a measure disapproving of ​President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada, a rare rebuke of the president ‌and ⁠leaders of his party in the Republican-majority ⁠House.

Lawmakers voted 219 to 211 in favor of ​a resolution ​to ​terminate Trump’s ‌use of a national emergency to put punitive trade measures on Canadian goods, sending the measure to ‌the Senate ​where it stands ​a ​good chance of ‌passage.

However, it is ​unlikely to ​garner enough support in Congress to overcome ​an ‌expected Trump veto.
