Bills to Limit Trump's Use of Section 232 Get Bipartisan Support
Written by Sandy Williams
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) is onboard with an effort to restrict President Trump’s ability to use national security as a reason to impose tariffs. Grassley reportedly has told his staff to work with Sens. Pat Toomey (R-PA) and Rob Portman (R-OH) to create legislation that would garner enough Senate support to override a veto by the president.
Two bills have already been introduced to Congress that would curtail presidential authority under Section 232.
