Grassley says he wants to rein in Trump tariff powers

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) said Wednesday that he wanted to advance legislation reining in presidential authority on tariffs in 2020.

"That's been a goal of mine and is still a goal," Grassley said of legislation to reform section 232 of the 1962 Trade Expansion Act, which President Trump has used to impose major tariffs on close U.S. trade partners.

Section 232 gives the president authority to impose tariffs for national security purposes. Trump's trade critics accused him of abusing the authority by imposing steep steel and aluminum tariffs on U.S. allies such as Canada, Mexico, the European Union and Japan.

Trump later scrapped the tariffs on Canada and Mexico after they agreed to an updated North American Free Trade Agreement. Trump has also threatened to use the authority to impose tariffs on automobile imports from the European Union and Japan.

1. Good goal and all. But real talk... What Grassley means is he wants to rein in a Democrat's powers

This will (hopefully) be one of Grassley's things this time next year, but if Trump were to somehow get reelected, it will quietly disappear.

4. Chuckel's needs to change the Media Topic

because one of his big Supporters just whacked 57 Employees on Monday. Chuckie's home State is bearing the brunt of his Parties Chickens coming home to Roost syndrome. His Fellow Cash Croppers are just now heading for the Bank to get their Operating Loans extended or new Loans approved. And with foreign Grain sales at zero,he is feeling the justified heat.
