Limiting Tariffs on Allies: Congress Gains Trade Policy Control
This bill aims to limit the President's ability to impose new tariffs on goods imported from US allies or free trade agreement partners. This means the President will need Congressional approval before implementing such tariffs, which could impact the stability of imported product prices and trade relations, potentially shielding consumers from sudden price increases.
Key points
The President will require Congressional approval to impose new tariffs on NATO countries, major non-NATO allies, and countries with free trade agreements with the US.
Imposing tariffs will necessitate the President submitting a justification to Congress, including an assessment of the impact on foreign policy, national security, and the US economy.
The changes aim to increase Congress's role in shaping trade policy, potentially leading to more predictable trade conditions for businesses and consumers.
