This joint resolution aims to terminate a national emergency that was declared by the President on April 2, 2025 , through Executive Order 14257 . The primary purpose of this emergency declaration was to enable the imposition of global tariffs, impacting international trade policies. The resolution specifically utilizes the authority provided under section 202 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622) to revoke the emergency status. If passed into law, the termination of this national emergency would become effective immediately upon the date of the joint resolution's enactment, thereby removing the legal basis for the aforementioned tariffs.
