Doha: The US House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to rescind President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods.

According to Qatar News Agency, the Democrat-proposed vote received approval from 219 representatives, including six Republicans, against 211 in opposition. The resolution seeks to terminate Trump's use of a national emergency to put punitive trade measures on Canadian goods.

This vote takes on a symbolic character, given that Republicans hold a slim majority in the House of Representatives, holding 218 seats compared to the Democrats' 214.

The likelihood of the resolution passing in the Senate is increasing, which has previously voted twice to block Trump from imposing tariffs on Canada despite his Republicans holding more seats.
