    6 #House #Republicans defy #Trump to block his #Canada #tariffs

    In a vote that #GOP leaders fought hard to avoid, 6 Republicans sent a blunt message to Trump that they do not support the tariff regime that he has made the centerpiece of his 2nd term.

    @Nonilex

    That kind of revolt on a tax matter would see a Prime Minister replaced or a new election in a parliamentary system

      6 #Republicans joined with #Democrats in the vote to effectively repeal Trump’s #tariffs on #Canada, the culmination of months of consternation in the #GOP over Trump’s #trade war that has quietly rattled even some of his staunchest loyalists in #Congress.

      The vote inevitably provoked a threat from #Trump, who took to Truth Social to warn of consequences for any Republican who votes against his tariffs, including primary challenges.

        Hurd told CNN that #farmers & #SteelManufacturers in his district have been impacted by the #tariffs, & “at the end of the day, I looked at the #Constitution, I looked at what was in the best interest of my district, & I took the vote. It’s not easy, but it’s the right thing & I stand by it.”

        Pressed on if he’s worried about #Trump’s wrath, Hurd responded, “I do the right thing, & what the consequences are, we’ll have to see.”

            “From my vantage point, people feel like they’re in between a rock & a hard place because they don’t want to get on the bad side of the president,” Bacon said.
