The unchecked imposition of unilateral tariffs has had severe economic consequences, harming American businesses and consumers through increased costs and strained relationships with key trading partners. Arbitrary tariff actions undermine the stable, rules-based trade environment that is crucial for economic growth and job creation. The Trade Review Act of 2025 is a much-needed reassertion of Congressional authority over trade policy as outlined in the Constitution. This legislation will restore transparency, consistency, and scrutiny to tariff decisions by mandating the President provide justification and impact analysis to Congress within 48 hours of any new tariff action. Critically, it requires Congressional approval for new tariffs to remain in effect after 60 days, preventing unilateral actions that lack oversight. By reestablishing this system of checks and balances, the Trade Review Act will help ensure tariff policies truly benefit the American public and economy rather than political whims. I strongly urge you to support this bipartisan legislation to rein in harmful unilateral tariffs and reassert Congress's constitutionally defined role in regulating foreign commerce.
