The Trade Review Act of 2025 would restore Congress' constitutional authority over trade policy by requiring congressional approval for new tariffs imposed by the president. This bipartisan legislation aims to prevent unilateral tariffs that can harm American consumers and businesses through increased costs and disrupted supply chains. The act mandates the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of imposing new tariffs, along with justification and impact analysis. Congress then has 60 days to pass a resolution approving the tariffs, otherwise they expire. The act also allows Congress to terminate existing tariffs through a resolution of disapproval at any time. This measure ensures proper oversight and a checks-and-balances system for trade decisions that significantly impact the economy. I urge your support for the Trade Review Act to reassert Congress' role in determining fair and beneficial trade policies for the nation.
