Bill > SR0011

This resolution honors the longstanding and deeply integrated relationship between the United States, Vermont, Canada, and Quebec, highlighting their economic, cultural, and personal ties. The resolution emphasizes Vermont's particularly close connection with Canada, noting significant economic interactions such as Vermont's $680 million in exports and $165 million in services to Canada in 2023, and Canada's substantial investments supporting over 17,000 Vermont jobs. The resolution urges President Trump to remove all tariffs imposed on Canadian imports since January 20, 2025, including those outside the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), and calls on the U.S. Congress to reassert its legislative role in crafting international trade policy and managing tariff impositions. By doing so, the resolution seeks to preserve the robust and interdependent economic relationship between the two countries and protect the mutual benefits of their close partnership.
