US President Donald Trump is preparing to introduce more tariffs, even as Democrats seek control of Congress in the November 3 midterm elections. If Democrats gain power, they plan to challenge his trade policies through investigations, hearings and votes to roll back tariffs. However, they may struggle to pass new laws as Trump can veto them. Democrats also want to remove tariffs on Canadian goods and review existing trade laws. Despite the possible political shift, trade experts believe Trump is unlikely to change course. His administration is also considering new tariffs on goods from 16 major trading partners.
