Seven GOP Senators Support Bill to Limit Trump's Tariff Authority

Seven Republican senators have co-sponsored the bipartisan Trade Review Act of 2025, aimed at limiting President Trump's unilateral power to impose tariffs. The legislation mandates that the president notify Congress of any new or increased tariffs within 28 hours and provides a pathway for Congress to cancel such tariffs within 60 days unless approved by a joint resolution. Lead co-sponsor Sen. Chuck Grassley emphasized the need for Congress to reclaim its authority over trade policies, arguing that it has long delegated that power to the executive branch. The bill also requires assessments of the potential impact of tariffs on U.S. businesses and consumers. Trump has threatened to veto the legislation, stating it could hinder his foreign policy and national security efforts. Despite bipartisan support, the bill faces challenges in passing both chambers and potentially overriding a presidential veto.
