Senate resolution honoring the historic, integrated, and productive relations on the part of both the United States and the State of Vermont with Canada and the Province of Quebec; urging that Congress reassert its role in the crafting of international trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs; and urging that President Trump remove all tariffs he has imposed on Canada since January 20, 2025, including those outside the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).

This Senate resolution honors the strong relationships between the U.S., Vermont, and Canada, particularly with Quebec. It calls on Congress to take a more active role in setting international trade policies, especially regarding tariffs. Additionally, it urges President Trump to lift all tariffs imposed on Canada since January 20, 2025, including those not covered by the USMCA.

Supporters of this resolution would highlight the importance of maintaining and strengthening the economic ties between Vermont and Canada, which benefit both regions. They would argue that removing tariffs fosters better trade relations and supports local economies, emphasizing the historical partnership with Quebec as a model for cooperation.

Critics might argue that the resolution undermines national trade policies by urging the President to remove tariffs, which they may see as necessary for protecting American interests. They could also contend that it places too much emphasis on international relations at the expense of local economic priorities, potentially disregarding the complexities of trade negotiations.
