In a rare case of Republican members of Congress opposing President Donald Trump’s executive actions, some in the party are introducing bills with Democrats that would limit the president’s ability to impose taxes on imported or exported goods.

U.S. Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., told news outlets Monday he will introduce a companion bill to the Trade Review Act of 2025 from Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Maria Cantwell, D-Wash. 

The legislation would amend the Trade Act of 1974 to restore Congress’ authority to stop through a joint resolution of disapproval any duties, including tariffs, enacted by the president.

“For too long, Congress has delegated its clear authority to regulate interstate and foreign commerce to the executive branch,” Grassley said, adding that the bill will “reassert Congress’ constitutional role and ensure Congress has a voice in trade policy.”
