#CongressTradingBan 🏛️ Legislative Initiatives
• Trade Review Act: A bill S.1272 has been introduced in the Senate that requires the president to notify Congress of the imposition of new tariffs and obtain its approval for extending these measures for more than 60 days. The bill has received bipartisan support, but the Trump administration threatened to veto it.
• Ban on Stock Trading for Members of Congress: After it became known that Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene purchased stocks shortly before Trump announced the suspension of tariffs, a bill H.R.1908 was introduced to prohibit members of Congress and their families from trading stocks. This sparked widespread discussion on the need to strengthen ethical standards.
