A concurrent resolution is how the House and the Senate settle something they do together, such as a budget plan or a joint session. It is adopted once both chambers agree to it, and that puts it into effect; it is not a law, so it does not go to the President.

What this bill would do

This concurrent resolution expresses the sense of Congress regarding the Trump administration's tariffs on Mexico and Canada. It asserts that the 25-percent tariffs scheduled for April 2, 2025, violate the United States of America-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). The resolution notes that these tariffs threaten to undermine the USMCA and its role in supporting over 17,000,000 jobs. Furthermore, it states that the administration's unclear tariff policies cause uncertainty and chaos for businesses and consumers. The resolution aims to recognize the importance of the USMCA and its upcoming 2026 review process.
