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

Provisional: our plain-language summary, pending review.

In plain language: This measure immediately cancels the national emergency declared by the President on April 2, 2025, removing the special executive authorities activated by that order. As a result, the federal government can no longer redirect agency funds, deploy personnel under emergency rules, or enforce restrictions that depended on that declaration. Any ongoing programs or spending that relied strictly on this emergency status must come to a halt.
