This resolution would terminate the national emergency the President declared on July 30, 2025, in Executive Order 14323, which was used to impose duties on goods imported from Brazil. Ending the emergency would lift the legal basis for those tariffs. The measure uses the National Emergencies Act's procedure that lets Congress end a presidentially-declared emergency by joint resolution. It is a single-section resolution with no other policy changes attached.
