A joint resolution terminating the national emergency declared to impose duties on articles imported from Canada.

S.J.Res. 37 is a binding joint resolution that would terminate the national emergency declared by President Trump on February 1, 2025. That emergency declaration imposed additional tariffs on imports from Canada: 25% on most goods and 10% specifically on Canadian energy and energy resources. The resolution was introduced by Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) on March 11, 2025, and has already passed the Senate. It is now being actively considered on the floor of the House of Representatives.

If enacted, this resolution would eliminate these tariffs on Canadian imports. For everyday citizens, this could mean lower prices on goods imported from Canada, including energy resources, which would likely reduce energy costs. The tariffs currently affect a wide range of products, so removing them could have broad impacts on consumer prices for items ranging from automobiles to household goods to food products.

The resolution represents a direct challenge to the President's use of emergency powers to impose trade restrictions. By terminating the declared emergency, Congress would be reasserting its authority over trade policy and tariff decisions. The outcome of the House floor debate will determine whether these tariffs remain in place or are repealed.
