Congress Moves to Curb Trump’s Tariff Powers Amid Trade War
Amid escalating trade tensions, Republican lawmakers are contemplating legislation to reassert Congress's authority over tariffs, a direct response to former President Donald Trump's aggressive tariff policies. The proposed measures aim to limit the executive's ability to impose tariffs without congressional approval, reflecting growing unease among both parties about the unchecked use of such economic tools.
Senators from both sides of the aisle have introduced a bipartisan bill designed to rein in Trump's tariff impositions. This legislative effort underscores a significant shift in political dynamics, as lawmakers seek to reclaim their constitutional role in trade policy. The move comes as Trump's tariffs continue to draw criticism and reaction from various sectors, prompting a reevaluation of trade strategies.
The initiative has sparked a debate over the balance of power between the executive and legislative branches, with top Republicans leading the charge to restore Congress's influence over international trade decisions. As the trade war persists, the outcome of these legislative efforts could have far-reaching implications for U.S. trade relations and economic policy.
