Purpose and Summary

Held at the desk.
Bill 119 SJRes 37 is a joint resolution that aims to terminate the national emergency declared by the President to impose duties on articles imported from Canada. The resolution was introduced in the Senate and seeks to revoke the emergency declaration that allowed for the imposition of tariffs on Canadian imports.

The resolution argues that the national emergency declared by the President was unnecessary and unjustified, as it did not meet the criteria for a true emergency situation. It also states that the tariffs imposed on Canadian imports have had negative economic consequences for both the United States and Canada, harming businesses and consumers on both sides of the border.

If passed, Bill 119 SJRes 37 would effectively end the national emergency declared by the President and lift the tariffs on Canadian imports. This would help to restore trade relations between the two countries and alleviate the economic burden that the tariffs have placed on businesses and consumers. Overall, the resolution seeks to address the negative impact of the tariffs on Canadian imports and promote a more cooperative and mutually beneficial trade relationship between the United States and Canada.
