HRES 1053 United States House · 118th Congress

Reaffirming the deep and steadfast United States-Canada partnership and the ties that bind the two countries in support of economic and national security.

HRES 1053 is a non-binding House resolution reaffirming the U.S.-Canada partnership, not a legislative bill with new policy provisions. It states that the U.S. House of Representatives recognizes the strategic importance of the relationship, citing existing economic ties (e.g., $1.3 trillion in bilateral trade in 2022 supporting 7.5 million U.S. jobs) and security cooperation (including NORAD, border security programs, and shared climate efforts). The resolution emphasizes mutual dependence in areas like energy security, supply chains, and defense, but does not create new obligations or funding. It serves as a symbolic statement of support for the existing partnership, referencing established frameworks like USMCA and joint climate initiatives. As a resolution, it has no legal effect on policy or operations.
