U.S. House votes to end Iran war involvement as oil hits $100 and new tariffs take effect

Resumen

The House approved a non-binding resolution to withdraw U.S. forces from the Iran conflict, Brent crude rose above $100 per barrel after Houthi attacks on Saudi tankers, and the Trump administration imposed new tariffs on most imports citing forced-labor concerns.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a non-binding resolution calling for the removal of American troops from the war in Iran, marking the second such rebuke since the conflict began. The measure reflected lawmakers' opposition to a war they did not vote to authorize. A Senate effort to pass a similar resolution failed by a narrow margin.

Brent crude oil climbed more than 6% to $100 a barrel, its highest level since May, after Iran-backed Houthi rebels attacked two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea. The Houthis said the attacks were retaliation for Saudi actions in Yemen. The incident raised concerns about the security of key shipping lanes, including the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

Overnight, the Trump administration announced tariffs on imports from 59 countries and the European Union, with rates of 10% and 12.5% that took effect at midnight. The administration said the tariffs target goods made with forced labor and cover more than 99% of U.S. imports, while exempting categories such as energy and many foods. Earlier in the week, President Trump signed proclamations imposing 50% tariffs on selected Canadian products.

In Madison, Wisconsin, police placed four officers on administrative leave after a 38-year-old man, Corey Ruiz, was shot and killed during an encounter in which he allegedly brandished a knife. The Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation is reviewing the incident; body-camera footage is not available, though dashboard cameras and bystander videos have been released.

"The House vote reflects our disapproval of a war we did not authorize," a House spokesperson said.

"We imposed these tariffs because they target goods made with forced labor," a Treasury Department official said.

"The officers involved have been placed on administrative leave pending investigation," Madison Police Chief John Patterson said.
