GOP Bill Would Curb Trump’s Tariff, Quota Authority

摘要

US President Donald Trump has been an unconventional Republican from the start, but his hardening stance on trade is putting him at odds with his party (OD Jun.1’18). Tennessee Republican US Sen. Bob Corker plans to propose legislation this week that would require congressional approval before the president could constrain imports, according to a congressional source familiar with the issue. The requirement would apply to any actions taken in the past two years, giving Congress purview over steel and aluminum tariffs announced by the Trump administration last week.
