STABLE Trade Policy Act

What this bill does

  • The President must get congressional approval before imposing new tariffs on NATO members, major U.S. allies, and countries with U.S. trade agreements.
  • This affects trade policy decisions and applies to imports from dozens of allied nations including Canada, Australia, Israel, and Japan.
  • The bill requires the President to submit detailed justifications to Congress and wait for a joint resolution of approval before tariffs take effect.
