Wyden Introduces Bill to Curb Trump Tariff Powers Following 50% Canada Duties
Senator Ron Wyden, D-Ore., on Wednesday introduced the Congressional Trade Powers Reform Act to eliminate certain statutory tools for setting import duties, giving Congress a greater say over the tariff authority that remains.
The proposal follows an announcement of 50% retaliatory tariffs on a wide range of Canadian goods, citing a near-century-old trade law that has rarely been invoked. The legislation would shift trade policy control back to lawmakers, though no details were provided on the bill's legislative timeline.
