Maryland Senator Angela Alsobrooks has introduced her first bill, the Tariff Transparency Act, aimed at addressing the financial strain on residents by requiring the United States International Trade Commission to investigate the impact of tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada. Senator Alsobrooks expressed concerns about the effect of tariffs on consumers and small businesses, stating that they could raise prices, spike inflation, and harm Americans.
The bill has garnered support from several Democratic senators including Ron Wyden, Chris Coons, and Tim Kaine, among others. The legislation is part of a broader effort to push back against the Trump Administration’s imposition of tariffs on allies such as Canada and Mexico.
Senator Alsobrooks emphasized the need for a nonpartisan study on the impact of these tariffs on everyday Americans. The bill aims to shed light on the potential consequences of the administration’s trade policies. The full text of the bill is available for review.
