House Republicans Challenge Trump’s Tariff Authority Amid Bipartisan Support

A bipartisan effort is growing in Congress to limit President Trump's authority over tariffs, reflecting increasing discomfort within the Republican Party regarding his trade strategy. Rep. Don Bacon's bill has garnered support from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers, indicating a shift in opinion on Trump's tariff regime. Meanwhile, Republican senators have voiced their concerns about the economic repercussions of the tariffs, with some expressing skepticism about their effectiveness. The White House, however, is pushing back against these efforts, with senior GOP leaders and Trump himself emphasizing the need for presidential latitude in tariff decisions. As global economic instability continues, lawmakers are urgently seeking alternatives to mitigate the potential fallout from the tariffs. Despite bipartisan support for reform, the administration's resistance poses a significant hurdle for those looking to rein in Trump's tariff powers.
