A joint resolution terminating the national emergency declared to impose global tariffs.

# Summary of SJRES 88 **What the Bill Does** This joint resolution would terminate a national emergency declaration that President Trump issued on April 2, 2025, to impose tariffs (taxes) on imported goods. Under that declaration, a 10% tariff was placed on most imports coming into the United States, with even higher duties on certain trading partners. If passed, this bill would end that emergency declaration and presumably roll back those tariffs. **Who It Affects** This bill would impact businesses that import goods, American consumers (who may face higher prices due to tariffs), U.S. trading partners, and domestic industries that compete with imports.

It essentially determines whether tariff policies stay in place or are reversed. **Current Status and Key Details** The bill has already passed the Senate. It was sponsored by Senator Ron Wyden, a Democrat from Oregon. The resolution relates to broader questions about presidential power—specifically, whether a president can use emergency declarations to implement major economic policies, and Congress's authority to overturn such declarations.
