Bill overview
This bill, the Reclaim Trade Powers Act, aims to remove a specific authority granted to the President under the Trade Act of 1974. Currently, the President could impose import tariffs up to 15% to address significant imbalances in the U.S. balance of payments. By repealing section 122 of the Trade Act, the bill eliminates the power to use these tariffs as a tool to manage international trade and payments. This change seeks to restore more flexibility in trade policy.
