Grassley Wants to Limit Trump’s Trade Authority

Incoming Senate Finance Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) told Axios he may try to make it harder for the president to impose new tariffs.

“Grassley said he would take a favorable view of legislation limiting the administration’s power to impose tariffs to protect national security (known as Section 232 authority).”

Said Grassley: “Maybe the definition of national security or maybe the conditions under which national security could be used as an excuse is a little wide.”
