“Speaker Mike Johnson said Wednesday that Congress could intervene to curtail President Donald Trump’s global tariff regime — but only, he said, if there’s an ‘imbalance’ in the relative powers of the executive and legislative branches,” Politico reports.
Said Johnson: “I think the executive has a broad array of authority that’s been recognized over the years… If it gets close to where the imbalance is there, then we would step in.
”“But he made clear he did not think that, despite the turmoil in the economy, things were anywhere near that point.”
