Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer expressed that some Republicans appear ready to challenge former President Donald Trump regarding tariff authority through the Trade Review Act of 2025.
• On CNN’s "Inside Politics," Schumer noted that Republicans, particularly Senators Chuck Grassley and Maria Cantwell, have introduced a bipartisan bill. This bill aims to require Congress's approval for new tariffs and allows Congress to revoke tariffs with a disapproval resolution.
• Schumer highlighted the importance of this bill in reaffirming Congress's constitutional role in trade policy.
• He welcomed the bipartisan support for the bill and remarked that it indicates a shift among some Republicans who have typically supported Trump’s policies, even when they disagreed with them.
• Schumer believes the bill has a good chance of passing, given its bipartisan backing.
Chuck Schumer's comments reveal a potential shift in Republican support regarding tariffs, indicating that some lawmakers are willing to break away from Trump’s influence in trade matters. This proposed legislation might pave the way for greater congressional oversight on tariffs in the future.
