Restoring Trade Fairness Act

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.

    How might the phased tariff increases over five years affect prices for American consumers buying Chinese-made products?

  2. 02

    What specific industries or workers does the trust fund intend to compensate, and how would it determine adequate retaliation damages?

  3. 03

    What evidence supports that revoking China's trade status will reduce the trade deficit rather than trigger retaliatory tariffs on U.S. exports?
