Washington, D.C. – United States Representative Jimmy Panetta (CA-19) authored and introduced the bipartisan Stop Global Tariffs Act, which eliminates President Donald Trump’s most recent tariffs while providing retroactive relief to importers harmed by his trade policies. This bill, which is being co-led by Rep. Don Bacon (NE-02) and House Ways and Means Trade Subcommittee Ranking Member Linda Sánchez (CA-38), will refund importers who paid duties and prevent the President from reissuing similar tariffs.
Panetta said the Supreme Court ruling against the Administration affirmed that Congress must reclaim its constitutional authority over trade, and he urged Congress to act so the President cannot reinstate the tariffs through other authorities.

Assessments
Panetta authored and introduced legislation that substantially matches the promise: eliminating recent Trump global tariffs, refunding affected importers, and preventing similar tariffs from being reissued. However, the relevant bills remain introduced/referred only, with no enactment, passage, or completed tariff relief shown. Because this is a serious federal legislative attempt but the promised outcome has not been delivered, the correct adjudication is failure with effort credit.
