Speaker Mike Johnson announced on Monday his intent to push through a measure that would block any House votes on reversing President Donald Trump's international tariffs. This development comes as a part of a procedural motion expected to be considered by the House on Tuesday.

The House Rules Committee, having met and approved this legislation on Monday, aims to extend the prohibition on tariff-related votes until the end of July. This decision aligns with previous actions taken by GOP leadership, which had earlier put a similar blockade in place. That previous measure recently expired, prompting Democrats to plan a vote as early as Wednesday, which could potentially overturn President Trump’s tariffs on Canadian imports.

However, Speaker Johnson’s plan is on shaky ground as he faces opposition within his own party. A small yet pivotal group of Republican lawmakers, skeptical of the tariff policies, were seen discussing their concerns on the House floor late Monday. These discussions signal potential trouble for Johnson's proposal, as opposition from just a few Republican members—coupled with expected unanimous Democratic resistance—could be enough to thwart the motion.

This political maneuver underscores the ongoing struggle within the Republican party and the broader legislative branch concerning trade policies and tariffs. As the situation develops, all eyes will be on the House vote scheduled for Tuesday, where the future of U.S. tariff policy could hinge on a narrow margin.
