US Democratic Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon proposed draft legislation aimed at limiting President Trump's broad tariff powers. The bill would establish a congressional tariff committee and establish the Office of the United States Trade Representative as an independent agency, which contains several such provisions. Wyden harshly criticized Trump because he announced a 50% retaliatory tariff on a range of Canadian goods, citing a trade law with a history of nearly 100 years and rarely applied.
