Don Bacon (NE-02) announced he has received support from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Omaha Chamber of Commerce and Lincoln Chamber of Commerce for his bipartisan legislation to return Congress\u2019 constitutionally authorized role in setting and approving U.S. trade policy. H.R. 2665 The Trade Review Act of 2025 requires that unilateral tariffs proposed by the executive branch receive congressional authority.\n\n\u201cBy requiring clear justification and timely review of new tariffs, the Trade Review Act of 2025 helps prevent disruptive cost swings and strengthens Nebraska companies\u2019 ability to keep Nebraska\u2019s economy competitive and growing,\u201d said Todd Bingham, President and CEO of the NE Chamber of Commerce & Industry. \u201cThis legislation delivers real benefits for Nebraska businesses by bringing greater stability and predictability to U.S. trade policy. Nebraska Chamber members across industries \u2013 from agriculture to manufacturing \u2013 depend on consistent markets and manageable input costs. We thank Rep. Bacon for being a strong advocate for Nebraska and its world-class businesses.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe hear from businesses every day that unexpected tariff actions are driving up costs, delaying investments, and threatening the long-term competitiveness of Nebraska. H.R. 2665 introduces the level of transparency, accountability, and congressional oversight that our employers urgently need,\u201d said Heath Mello, President & CEO of the Greater Omaha Chamber. \u201cBy requiring timely economic impact assessments and ensuring Congress has a meaningful role, this legislation provides a more predictable environment for companies planning major capital investments. The Greater Omaha Chamber strongly supports this effort that gives employers the stability they need to grow and we thank Rep. Bacon for his leadership on this critical issue.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe Lincoln Chamber appreciates Congressman Don Bacon\u2019s leadership on trade and his assertion of congressional authority. Congressman Bacon\u2019s Trade Review Act of 2025 gets it right. Congressional authority and pro-active engagement is vitally important in developing trade policies, which are so important to Nebraska\u2019s economy.\u201d \u2013 Jason Ball, President & CEO of the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce.\n\n\u201cThis administration has overstepped by imposing tariffs that are bad for American consumers and businesses alike. It's time to return tariff authority back to Congress and the people by passing this legislation,\u201d said Rep. Bacon. \u201cI\u2019m thankful for the support of Nebraska\u2019s businesses as we work to return the power of imposing tariffs to the legislative branch, where it belongs.\u201d\n\nRep. Bacon has publicly stated his support for some tariffs imposed by the Trump Administration while also maintaining that the Constitution gives Congress the task of imposing tariffs under Article I Section 8.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:52:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://bacon.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2824"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5433919616043568, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
