A bipartisan effort is underway to pass a bill aimed at limiting President Trump's tariff powers, reflecting a majority opinion among Americans that opposes current tariffs. The initiative, led by Sens. Maria Cantwell and Chuck Grassley, would require the president to justify new tariffs, giving Congress a chance to revoke them. Despite its bipartisan foundation, the bill is likely to struggle with a Republican-controlled House and a potential veto from Trump, highlighting the contentious nature of tariff policy in U.S. governance even as public discontent grows regarding economic impacts.
The bipartisan bill aims to place a legislative "check" on presidential tariff powers, requiring justification for new tariffs and allowing Congress to overturn them.
Despite growing bipartisan support for the bill, it faces significant challenges due to insufficient support in the Senate and House, with potential veto threats from Trump.
