Bill overview
The Trade Certainty Act of 2019 limits the President’s ability to use emergency economic powers, specifically the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, to impose tariffs or import quotas on goods entering the United States. This bill clarifies that the President cannot use these powers to place duties or quotas on imported items. It aims to provide more predictability in trade policy by restricting the President’s unilateral authority to enact trade restrictions. The legislation seeks to prevent the President from utilizing emergency powers to implement trade barriers.
