Plain-English Summary
This resolution would end the national emergency declaration that was used to impose tariffs on imports from other countries, which would likely prevent the president from continuing or expanding those tariffs without getting approval from Congress first. The tariffs have affected prices on goods like steel, aluminum, and consumer products for American businesses and shoppers. The resolution narrowly failed to pass in the Senate, with the vote split almost evenly between supporters and opponents.
