# Congress Moves to Reclaim Tariff Authority After Voter Backlash

> Following midterm election losses, a bipartisan group in Congress is pushing bills that would require legislative approval for new tariffs and reverse presidential trade authority used by Trump. An exit poll cited in the article found 66 percent of voters believed the tariffs hurt the economy. Proposals include replacing the USTR with the U.S. International Trade Commission as the Section 301 investigator and requiring congressional sign-off on tariff extensions.

## Why it matters

A reduced ability to impose tariffs quickly could ease trade-war risk for US grain, oilseed and feed exports, especially to Canada and other partners. Lower tariff uncertainty would support export demand expectations, though the bills remain proposals and their passage is uncertain.
