The US FART Act, to be precise.
But wait! That's not all!
Meanwhile, some Congress critters are struggling against all odds to introduce a bill (probably DOA) preventing Trump from imposing tariffs without Congressional consent.Axios has obtained a leaked draft of a Trump administration bill — ordered by the president himself — that would declare America’s abandonment of fundamental World Trade Organization rules.
[...]
The draft legislation is stunning. The bill essentially provides Trump a license to raise U.S. tariffs at will, without congressional consent and international rules be damned.
[...]
The bill [...] would give Trump unilateral power to [...] negotiate one-on-one with any country.
Axios
Honestly, I wouldn't mind losing the WTO. The world really does need fair trade. But that, I understand, is a pipe dream.
Have you MET this Congress?"The good news is Congress would never give this authority to the president," the source added, describing the bill as "insane."
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
