Trump Tariff Transparency Act

# Trump Tariff Transparency Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Trump Tariff Transparency Act would require the Trump administration to publicly disclose detailed information about tariffs—taxes imposed on imported goods—before they take effect. Specifically, the bill would mandate advance notice and transparency regarding tariff proposals, including their economic impact and which industries and consumers would be affected. The goal is to give Congress, businesses, and the public time to understand and respond to tariff policies before they become law. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** This bill would primarily affect importers, manufacturers, retailers, and consumers who purchase goods made with imported materials.

It would require the administration to provide economic analyses showing how tariffs would impact prices, jobs, and different business sectors. By increasing transparency, the bill aims to ensure that tariff decisions are made with full public understanding rather than by surprise announcement. **Current Status** As of now, the bill (HR 6888) remains in committee and has not been voted on by the full House. This means it's still in the early legislative stage and would need committee approval before advancing further.
