Sen. Ron Wyden (Ore.), the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, announced on Tuesday that he’s introducing a resolution to thwart President Trump’s latest tariffs actions.
Wyden said during a hearing Tuesday morning that he’s “proposing a new bipartisan privileged resolution to end the latest crop of global tariffs that are clobbering American families and small businesses.”
“Members on both sides of the aisle ought to know that this is a call to action, and Congress must step in to reign this president on trade,” he added.
The Hill has reached out to Wyden’s office for more information.
The measure comes as members on both sides of the aisle have shown support for checking the president’s trade authority in light of Trump’s recent tariffs on nearly all foreign trading partners and amid rising recession fears.
Goldman Sachs analysts warned in a new report on Sunday that it increased the probability of a recession in the U.S. to 45 percent, just a week after it forecasted odds at 35 percent as fears rise of an impending trade war.
