Tariff Legislation Stalls as Focus Shifts to Executive Action
According to Politico, House Speaker Mike Johnson recently stated that it would be extremely challenging for Congress to advance any legislation codifying former President Trump's tariff plans, especially after the Supreme Court's recent ruling overturning the administration's broad tariff policy.
Johnson emphasized that reaching a bipartisan consensus on tariffs in the legislative sphere would be highly difficult, which explains why attention has shifted to how the executive branch responds to the court's decision.
- SCOTUS ruling creates policy uncertainty
- Legislative path faces bipartisan hurdles
