Ending the Global Tariffs Emergency

Official title: A joint resolution terminating the national emergency declared to impose global tariffs.

What this does

This joint resolution would have ended the national emergency that the President declared on April 2, 2025, in Executive Order 14257, which the resolution describes as the emergency declared to impose global tariffs. It acts under section 202 of the National Emergencies Act, and the termination would have taken effect on the date the resolution became law. Its single operative clause does nothing beyond ending that one declared emergency. The Senate rejected it on a 49 to 49 tie, so the emergency was not terminated.
