This week, a Michigan congresswoman unveiled her “No Tariffs on Groceries Act,” a new bill that would lower the cost of groceries by removing the ability of the U.S. president to unilaterally place tariffs on food and other agricultural products.
“The one thing I hear over and over again from Michiganders is that Donald Trump’s tariffs are making everything more expensive – especially groceries," said U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Birmingham.
"Michigan has had enough of Donald Trump’s price hikes, and I am taking on these erratic tariffs to bring relief to Michigan families.”This bill would:Require Congress to give permission if the president proposes to place tariffs on food.
Stipulate that tariffs cannot go into place without a subsequent act of Congress to approve them.
Over the summer, a fellow Michigan congresswoman introduced her own legislation to combat higher food prices.
