A joint resolution terminating the national emergency declared to impose duties on articles imported from Canada.
Key claim: Joint resolution SJRES37 would terminate the national emergency declared February 1, 2025, that imposed an additional 25% tariff on most Canadian imports and 10% on Canadian energy resources.
Abstract
(SJRES37 · 119th Congress) This joint resolution terminates the national emergency declared by President Donald J. Trump on February 1, 2025, which imposed an additional 25% tariff on most imports from Canada (except for Canadian energy or energy resources, which have an additional 10% tariff). Latest action (2025-04-03): Held at the desk.
Why this matters
SJRES37 represents a congressional counter-action to a presidential emergency-based tariff regime on Canadian goods, testing the legislative branch’s ability to unwind IEEPA-style trade emergencies. The outcome affects U.S. importers of Canadian goods and energy, Canadian exporters, and downstream consumer prices, and signals how future emergency tariff declarations may be challenged.
