House Republicans Defy Trump on Canada Tariffs

The House of Representatives voted Wednesday to overturn President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada, with six Republicans joining nearly all Democrats in a rare rebuke of the former president's trade agenda. The measure passed with a vote of 219 to 211, according to CBS News. However, the resolution's passage is largely symbolic, as it could be vetoed by Trump if it clears the Senate.

The vote came after GOP Representatives Kevin Kiley of California, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, and Don Bacon of Nebraska voted with Democrats on Tuesday to sink a procedural vote. The upper chamber had previously voted twice last year to block Trump from imposing tariffs on Canada, with four Republicans joining Democrats to approve the measures, CBS News reported.

In other political news, President Trump announced Wednesday that nearly all governors are welcome at the White House for a formal meeting and dinner next week, though the Democratic governors of Maryland and Colorado are still excluded. The White House initially planned to exclude Democratic governors from a typically bipartisan business meeting on Feb. 20 during the annual National Governors Association (NGA) conference, according to the NGA and a source familiar with the White House's planning, CBS News reported. Democratic governors Wes Moore of Maryland and Jared Polis of Colorado were informed by the NGA last Friday that they would not be invited to a separate dinner at the White House on Feb. 21 with the president, the governors, and their spouses.

In other news, authorities in Arizona detained and released a person for questioning in connection with the suspected abduction of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show anchor Savannah Guthrie, according to ABC News. The person was detained during a traffic stop on Tuesday evening, and authorities also searched a residence connected to the individual in Rio Rico, Arizona.

In sports news, around 2,900 top athletes from around the world converged on Italy to take part in the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, hoping to bring home medals across 116 events, CBS News reported. Team USA is bringing around 230 athletes to the Winter Olympics, which run from Feb. 6 to Feb. 22. Freestyle skier Alex Ferreira, who took home silver at PyeongChang in 2018 and a bronze medal in Beijing in 2022, is one of the American athletes to watch. "It's awesome representing Team USA, because I look at us and I think we're the best team in the world, and then it's special," Ferreira recently told CBS News.
