Hakeem Jeffries: Congress Must End Trump's Tariff Regime

Congressional Power Over Tariffs

• 🏛️ Congress holds the constitutional power to determine the appropriateness of when tariffs should be utilized.
• ⚠️ The current tariff regime, imposed unilaterally by the executive, is seen as detrimental to American interests and global relationships.

Reasserting Constitutional Responsibility

• ⚡ Democrats have been clear that the current tariff approach is not in the best interests of the American people or allies.
• 🌍 It is crucial for Congress to reassert its constitutional responsibility if the executive continues to act alone on tariffs.
• 🤝 The current tariff agenda risks undermining core international relationships, particularly with allies in North America and Europe.
