Lawmakers have introduced the Trade Review Act, aiming to limit President Trump's tariff powers without Congressional approval. The bipartisan bill, co-sponsored by seven Republican senators and Democratic Senator Maria Cantwell, stipulates tariffs would lapse after 60 days unless Congress approves them. This move signifies a growing split within Trump's party, with GOP leaders like Mitch McConnell and influential senators like Rand Paul and Ted Cruz expressing concern over tariffs. Despite its bipartisan backing, the bill faces challenges in becoming law, signaling a broader struggle over executive vs. legislative power in tariff imposition.
The Trade Review Act would make tariffs imposed by Trump – or any future president – disappear after 60 days if not approved by Congress.
Despite its bipartisan support, the bill lacks a clear path to becoming law, but demonstrates a significant division within the GOP over Trump's tariffs.
