Limiting Food Tariffs: Protecting Citizens' Wallets

This bill aims to limit the President's authority to impose tariffs on food items. This means any new tariffs on groceries will require Congressional approval, potentially helping to keep food prices stable and protecting household budgets from sudden increases. The act seeks to ensure greater oversight of trade policies affecting daily food expenses.
Key points
The President cannot unilaterally impose new tariffs on food; Congressional approval will be required.
The act covers a wide range of food products, including food for humans and animals, ingredients, fertilizers, and agro-chemicals.
Existing food tariffs will not be affected by this act.
