Summary

Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) plans to introduce a bill allowing Congress to block presidential tariffs, marking a rare GOP split with Trump amid market fallout.

His bill mirrors the Senate’s bipartisan Trade Review Act, requiring the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of new tariffs and gain approval within 60 days or face expiration.

With Trump able to veto and Republicans controlling Congress, passage is unlikely.

Meanwhile, House Democrats aim to force a vote ending Trump’s tariff-related national emergency, increasing pressure on vulnerable Republicans.

      There’s a saying that when America sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold. Non Americans are very vested in this mess, and have a right to comment on it, Cletus!

        Thanks. I’m also an American, living in America. That commenter’s facts aren’t very reliable.
