Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
This resolution is a nonbinding statement by the House expressing its views and priorities for U.S. trade policy. It lays out recommendations and "sense of the House" findings on labor, environment, procurement, tariffs, and enforcement but does not create legal obligations. It does not change existing law or require the President or federal agencies to act. It can be used to guide future legislation, oversight, or public debate.
This is a simple House resolution that would only be adopted by a vote in the House; it is not sent to the Senate or the President and does not have the force of law. The resolution was referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
This non‑binding House resolution calls for a trade policy that centers workers, consumers, family farmers, small businesses, and the environment.
It rejects prior corporate‑centered trade approaches and urges binding labor and environmental standards, stronger rules of origin and Buy America requirements, tools to penalize offshoring, exclusion of investor‑state dispute settlement, protections for affordable medicines, robust enforcement (including antidumping and countervailing actions), and sufficient funding for enforcement agencies.
This is a non‑binding House resolution expressing policy preferences; it does not create law and would require separate statutory action to enact its proposals.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill functions as a comprehensive statement of policy principles and priorities on trade. It clearly defines perceived problems and articulates many specific policy preferences and targets, but remains nonbinding and does not provide operational mechanisms, statutory amendments, cost estimates, or detailed implementation and accountability structures.

Generally sympathetic to protecting workers, supply chains, and enforcement, but cautious about broad protectionist tools and vague implementation.
Wants targeted, evidence‑based policies that avoid inflationary or retaliatory effects.
Likely to view the resolution skeptically as protectionist and interventionist.
