This resolution calls on the United States Congress to rescind the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, which were enacted following a national emergency declaration on April 2, 2025. The resolution highlights the negative impact of these tariffs on low-income American households, as they have led to increased prices for essential goods such as food, clothing, and electronics. It emphasizes that tariffs act as taxes on imports, ultimately raising the cost of living for residents in New Hampshire and increasing operational costs for local businesses. The resolution also points out the significant trade relationship between New Hampshire and Canada, noting that tariffs could lead to higher prices for various imported goods and threaten jobs reliant on international trade.

Furthermore, the resolution urges Congress to oppose any future declarations of states of emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) that would allow for additional tariff increases. It seeks to protect the economic interests of New Hampshire residents and businesses by advocating for the termination of the national emergency status that enabled the tariffs. The resolution concludes by directing the House clerk to send copies to key government officials, including the President and members of the New Hampshire congressional delegation.
