The United States Congress must redefine its role in the country's trade policy after the midterm elections. While high oil prices due to the Iran war have put significant pressure on the public, tariffs imposed by Donald Trump have also generated considerable dissatisfaction among voters.
Challenges Ahead for Congress
Recent developments in trade policy indicate that Congress must seriously pay attention to the economic situation and the needs of voters. Trump's tariffs, which were intended to protect domestic industries, have actually led to increased prices of goods and services, negatively impacting people's daily lives. This issue is particularly felt as oil prices have risen significantly.

Economic and Social Impacts
The rise in oil prices due to international tensions and wars, especially in the Middle East, has placed significant pressure on families and middle-class businesses. This situation has led to increased dissatisfaction and criticism of the government's economic policies, particularly trade policies. Congress must respond to these grievances and seek effective solutions to support the people and the country's economy.
In this regard, revising tariffs and trade policies could help alleviate financial pressure on the public and strengthen the domestic economy. Congress must carefully listen to the opinions and needs of voters and consider these issues in its decision-making.
Ultimately, Congress must redefine its role as the representative of the people in trade policies and move towards policies that ultimately benefit citizens and the economy of the United States.
