Representatives Don Bacon and Jimmy Panetta introduced a bipartisan bill to halt President Trump’s temporary 10% global tariffs and refund duties already paid. The proposal also seeks to limit similar tariffs in the future.
The Stop Global Tariffs Act, introduced by Republican Don Bacon and Democrat Jimmy Panetta, would end the temporary 10% tariffs Trump imposed under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 and direct refunds for duties collected from February 20, 2026, through enactment. The lawmakers said the measure would restore Congress’s role in trade policy and provide relief to businesses and consumers. The White House did not respond to a request for comment on the bill.
The article reports that a legal challenge to Trump’s use of Section 122 was argued before the U.S. Court of International Trade. Customs and Border Protection said it was on track to begin accepting refund claims by April 20; an agency official said 26,664 importers had signed up by March 26. The article also notes that the House and Senate had passed resolutions overturning some of Trump’s tariffs before the Supreme Court ruling.
