Plain-English Summary

This bill would give Congress more direct control over trade deals and tariffs, reducing the president's ability to make major trade decisions on their own. It likely aims to shift power away from the executive branch so that lawmakers have a stronger say in negotiating trade agreements and setting trade policy that affects American workers and businesses. The bill has been sent to two committees for review before any vote can take place.
