PANews reported on February 11th, citing the Wall Street Journal, that US House members on Tuesday rejected Speaker Johnson's attempt to block a vote on President Trump's tariff resolution. This represents a significant blow to Johnson's leadership and paves the way for criticism of Trump's signature economic policies. The procedural motion failed to pass with 217 votes against and 214 votes in favor. Three Republican members joined the 214 Democrats in voting against the motion, defeating it in the narrowly contested House. This vote means that Democrats will be able to submit a resolution challenging Trump's tariff policies to a full House vote, potentially initiating a series of closely watched voting procedures as early as Wednesday. While Trump can veto any resolution submitted to his desk, the passage of this vote represents a public rejection of Trump's tariff policies and could trigger a strong reaction from the White House.
