Terminating the national emergency declared to impose global tariffs.

# Summary of HJRES 150 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would cancel a national emergency declaration made by President Trump on April 2, 2025, that imposed a 10% tariff (tax) on most imported goods coming into the United States, plus additional tariffs on certain trading partners. If passed, the bill would eliminate these tariffs and end the emergency declaration that authorized them. **Who It Affects** The bill would impact businesses that import goods, consumers who buy imported products, and trading partner countries. It would also affect any U.S. industries that benefit from tariff protections.

The measure directly challenges a presidential action, so it reflects disagreement between Congress and the administration over trade policy. **Current Status and Key Details** The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House. It was introduced by Rep. Gregory Meeks, a Democrat from New York. Joint resolutions like this one require approval from both the House and Senate and cannot be vetoed by the President, making it a direct congressional check on executive power—though passing both chambers typically requires significant bipartisan support.
