Wyden Challenges Trump's Tariff Power | Canada News

Senator Ron Wyden’s new bill aims to strip President Trump of his power to unilaterally impose sweeping tariffs, like the 50% duties on Canadian goods, by forcing Congress to reclaim its constitutional trade authority. Targeting Trump’s use of a century-old law, the Congressional Trade Powers Reform Act of 2026 faces steep odds with GOP-controlled Congress and a likely veto from the White House. Wyden calls the tariffs a harmful “shakedown” that hurts farmers and small businesses, while Trump defends them as necessary retaliation against Canada’s trade practices — even calling Canadian leaders “overly reliant” on the U.S. — despite his own criticism of their free trade stance.
