HR 2842 United States House · 119th Congress

Stop Raising Prices on Food Act

The Stop Raising Prices on Food Act requires Congress to approve any new or increased tariffs on agricultural imports from the top five countries (including the EU as one entity) that import the most U.S. farm goods. The President must first submit a detailed request to Congress explaining the purpose, why diplomatic solutions weren't used, and the impact on U.S. agriculture, followed by a 15-day congressional approval window via a joint resolution. This bill directly affects the President's trade authority and aims to prevent tariff increases that could raise food prices for consumers. It applies to tariffs under key trade laws, such as those for national security (Section 232) or trade disputes.
