House Republicans are preparing a measure that would curtail President Donald Trump’s authority to make unilateral trade decisions after his decision to impose steel and aluminum tariffs.
Representative Warren Davidson, an Ohio Republican, said Wednesday he has about 10 cosponsors for a House bill he plans to introduce that mirrors a Senate measure introduced by Senator Mike Lee, a Utah Republican. It would require the president to seek a resolution of approval from Congress before imposing tariffs and duties, Davidson said.
