Un total de 274 cámaras empresariales de Estados Unidos, 52 de alcance nacional y 222 regionales, respaldaron en una carta la legislación introducida por el senador Bob Corker para limitar el poder del presidente Donald Trump de imponer aranceles para fines de seguridad nacional.
“En nombre de las organizaciones empresariales y agrícolas abajo firmantes, estamos escribiendo para apoyar la legislación (S. 3013) del senador Corker y un grupo bipartidista de senadores para exigir al Presidente que presente al Congreso cualquier propuesta para aumentar los aranceles en interés de la seguridad nacional bajo Sección 232 de la Ley de Expansión Comercial de 1962”, dijeron.
Las cámaras exhortaron a todos los miembros del Senado a reconsiderar el proyecto de ley. A principios de junio, 10 senadores de Estados Unidos, cinco republicanos y cinco demócratas, presentaron una iniciativa que obligaría al Presidente de ese país a recibir autorización del Congreso cuando quiera subir aranceles argumentando razones de seguridad nacional.
