On February 11, six House Republicans sided with Democrats to disapprove of Trump's national emergency declaration, which imposed tariffs on Canada, despite Trump's warning that they would "seriously suffer the consequences come Election time".
The resolution is largely symbolic, as undoing Trump's tariff policy would require his approval, which is unlikely, according to The Guardian US, citing key US politics stories.
Trump's threat was aimed at congressional Republicans who might join the effort to rescind his tariffs, with the president explicitly stating that they would face consequences in the next election, as reported by The Guardian US.
