Senators Chuck Grassley and Maria Cantwell introduced the Trade Review Act of 2025, aiming to enhance Congress's oversight into tariff impositions by the executive branch. In light of President Trump's recent unilateral tariff announcements that unsettled markets, this bill seeks to amend the Trade Act of 1974, requiring the White House to notify lawmakers and provide a comprehensive analysis of potential tariff impacts. Despite forecasted challenges to its passage, Grassley's bipartisan support indicates an emerging discomfort within the GOP regarding the president's trade policies.
“The bill is actually an amendment of a section of the Trade Act of 1974, which gives the legislative branch a say in trade policy.”
“It’s highly unlikely this proposal will ever become law. Still, support from Grassley... sends a strong signal about the GOP's growing unease with Trump's actions.”
