The bill, known as the 2025 Trade Review Act, was introduced by Senatore Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) And Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and attracted support from both Republicans and Democrats, including six additional Republican senators. Bill seeks the oversight of the rates on rates if approved, the bill would require the president to notify Congress within 48 hours to set up new rates and include a justification, along with an analysis of its impact on US enterprises and consumers. The congress would then have 60 days to approve the rates. If you do not, they would automatically expire. Supporters argue that this restores the balance between the executive and legislative branches on trade policy. However, the White House argues that this amounts to ‘procedural micro management’. White House: Bill will “dangerously impede naate security” in a statement, the White House’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) said the bill limits the president’s ability to be recognized by the congress for a long time and maintained by the courts to respond to national emergencies and foreign threats. “The OMB added that the proposed oversight” would eliminate the leverage over foreign trade partners, impedes the repetition and the supply chain feather, the uncertainty of the foster market and reduces the energy and shipping the president needs to effectively guarantee the safety of the country. ” “If approved, this bill will dangerously hinder the president’s authority and duty to determine our foreign policy and protect our national security,” the statement warned. Veto-threat increases the bar for the passage of the Wituis veto threat means that the bill will now need a majority of two-thirds in both the Republican controlled home and the Senate to become law-a steep climb, even with two-party support. GOP Senators disregard Trump about trade forces among the Republicans supporting the bill is minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), and Todd Young (R-Ind.), Which reflects the increasing discomfort in the party about Trump’s aggressive use of trade. The proposed legislation indicates a renewed attempt by Congress to achieve its constitutional role in the formation of US trade policy, amid concern that the current approach does not have transparency and accountability.
