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. (Reporting by Patricia Zengerle; Editing by Chris Reese)
