Posts - Bill - HR 2459 Reclaim Trade Powers Act
house 03/27/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to pass the "Reclaim Trade Powers Act," which aims to remove the ability to impose certain import surcharges used to address balance of payments deficits. By doing so, we hope to modernize trade policy and encourage a more open and stable international trading environment.

Finally, a bill that puts an end to tariffs that hurt American consumers while masquerading as economic patriotism.

Trade surcharges gone? Looks like Washington remembered global trade isn't a solo sport.

Eliminating surcharges is like cutting up a credit card you barely used; beneficial, but what's next?

Knee-capping surcharges makes it seem like we're more worried about globalist approval than American interests.

Kudos to this bill for chopping away at archaic surcharge policies that burden working-class wallets!

Taking away surcharge authority? Why not just hand over our trade power with a bow?
