US House Rebukes Trump, Blocks Canada Tariffs

The US House of Representatives delivered a rare bipartisan rebuke of former President Donald Trump on Wednesday, voting to rescind tariffs he imposed on Canada last year, according to The Guardian. The vote, which passed 219 to 211, saw Republicans join Democrats in objecting to the national emergency Trump declared to impose the tariffs. Simultaneously, the United Nations released a report detailing five foiled assassination attempts targeting Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa and two of his senior cabinet ministers by ISIL (ISIS) over the past year, as reported by Al Jazeera.

The House resolution to disapprove of the national emergency regarding the Canada tariffs was largely symbolic, but it highlighted a rare instance of disagreement with Trump's trade policies. The Guardian noted that Trump had threatened electoral retaliation against any Republican who defied him.

In other international developments, a group of 25 British members of parliament tabled a motion urging global sporting authorities to consider excluding the United States from hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup until it demonstrates compliance with international law, Al Jazeera reported. This followed weeks of mounting pressure across Europe.

Meanwhile, in Canada, police identified 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar as the suspect in a school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, according to The Guardian. The death toll was revised down to nine people, including the suspect, after a female victim survived. The deceased included the suspect's mother and step-brother, who were found at the suspect's family residence, and a teacher and three students at the high school. Police were called to the home after being called to the school, by a female youth related to the suspect and victims.

In Bangladesh, an era-defining election took place, where Gen Z toppled an autocrat, according to Sky News. This election offered a chance to vote in a real contest after a civil conflict and a mass student uprising in 2024 that led to the ouster of the country's longest-serving prime minister, Sheikh Hasina.
