Reaffirming the deep and steadfast United States-Canada partnership and the ties that bind the two countries in support of economic and national security.
Latest action (24 Feb 2025): Introduced
What this bill does
H.Res. 152 is a formal House resolution expressing support for the United States-Canada relationship rather than a bill that changes law. It does not create new programs, spending, or legal requirements. Instead, it lays out a series of factual statements about U.S.-Canada trade, energy, border security, and defense cooperation, and then has the House of Representatives formally state its recognition of and commitment to that partnership. Specific points include recognizing the two countries' economic interdependence, supporting increased cross-border energy infrastructure and diversified critical minerals supply chains, welcoming greater collaboration on defense, cyber, and Arctic security, and reaffirming commitment to the bilateral alliance and shared democratic values.
Because it is a simple resolution, it affects only the House's own expressed position and carries no binding legal effect on individuals, businesses, or the executive branch. It is primarily a symbolic statement meant to signal congressional support for continued U.S.-Canada economic and security ties, referencing existing frameworks such as USMCA, NORAD, and various border-security programs.
The resolution was introduced on February 24, 2025, by Rep. Mark Amodei with several cosponsors, and referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. As of the latest available status, it remains at the introduction stage; for it to advance, the committee would need to take further action, such as holding a vote, before it could be considered by the full House.
