Plain Language Summary

# Summary of SJRES 77 **What the Bill Does:** This joint resolution would cancel the national emergency that President Trump declared on February 1, 2025, which added extra tariffs (taxes) on goods imported from Canada. Under that emergency declaration, most Canadian imports face an additional 25% tariff, while Canadian energy products face a 10% tariff. If passed, this bill would eliminate those emergency tariffs. **Who It Affects:** This legislation affects American businesses and consumers who buy Canadian goods, Canadian exporters, and the bilateral trade relationship between the U.S. and Canada.

Higher tariffs typically increase prices for American consumers on products like food, vehicles, and manufactured goods, while also affecting companies that rely on Canadian imports in their supply chains. **Current Status:** The bill has passed the Senate. As a joint resolution, it can terminate presidential emergency powers under the National Emergencies Act. The sponsor is Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA). The bill now moves to the House for consideration.

CRS Official Summary

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).
