Restoring Trade Fairness Act
- economy
What this bill does
- This bill revokes China's special trade status and raises tariffs on Chinese goods to minimum rates of 35-100% over five years.
- U.S. importers, Chinese exporters, and American producers in affected industries will face higher costs and potential trade disputes.
- Tariff increases are phased in over five years with annual inflation adjustments, and a trust fund compensates producers harmed by Chinese retaliation.
