I’m pleased to co-lead the Stopping Global Tariffs Act as a step toward restoring Congress’s role, providing relief to American businesses and consumers, and preventing the misuse of outdated authorities to impose sweeping tariffs.
Co-lead legislation to strike down global tariffs, reimburse importers, and block similar tariffs from being reimposed.
Occurrences
Bacon, Khanna Introduce Bipartisan Legislation to Repeal Costly Tariffs on Coffee
Evidence
This bill ... will refund importers who paid duties and prevent the President from reissuing similar tariffs. This bill strikes down the 10% tariffs issued by President Trump under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. It requires that importers are reimbursed and prohibits the issuance of successive similar tariffs.
Action: Mr. Cuellar introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means. Full Title: To provide direct refunds to taxpayers for increased consumer costs attributable to tariffs imposed without congressional authorization.
Congressional Bills: H.R. 7865
Assessments
The evidence shows Bacon did co-lead and introduce legislation in 2026 that matches the promise: striking down the Section 122 global tariffs, reimbursing importers, and preventing similar tariffs from being reissued. However, the record provided shows introduction and referral activity only, with no evidence that the bill passed Congress or was enacted. Because the promise is specifically to co-lead legislation achieving those policy results, and the available evidence only confirms an active legislative effort in the current term without a final outcome yet, the best judgment is unresolved rather than delivered or partial.
