She urged her colleagues to instead support her legislation, the U.S. Trade Leadership in the Indo-Pacific and China Act.\n\nThe bipartisan U.S. Trade Leadership in the Indo-Pacific and China Act would require the Biden Administration to accelerate U.S. economic leadership in the critical Indo-Pacific region and to swiftly articulate a comprehensive trade strategy with China. This is necessary to confront China's growing threat and solidify America's presence in the region and worldwide.\n\nCongresswoman Miller today voted against Democrats' \u2018America CONCEDES Act.'\n\nClick here to watch Congresswoman Miller's remarks or read them as prepared below:\n\nPresident Biden's trade moratorium undermines U.S. leadership and hands all adversaries a dangerous opportunity to get ahead.\n\nChina is seizing this moment to advance in the Indo-Pacific.\n\nThis is why I joined with my colleague Darin LaHood to introduce the U.S. Trade Leadership in the Indo-Pacific and China Act.\n\nOur bill will require President Biden to act and report on a trade strategy in the Indo-Pacific and with China.\n\nOnce again, Democrats didn't allow any bipartisan input in their legislation.\n\nThere has been zero guidance by President Biden on a trade plan with China.\n\nInstead, we continue on a useless wait-and-see approach.\n\nThe competition between the U.S. and China demands strong leadership.\n\nDemocrats must wake up to this reality and take decisive action.\n\nI urge my colleagues to support our bill to ensure America's lasting trade leadership.\n\nBackground:\n\nThe U.S. Trade Leadership in the Indo-Pacific and China Act would provide a blueprint for Congress and the Administration to advance U.S. trade leadership in the Indo-Pacific region and with China through the encouragement of swift passage of the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) and directing the Administration to make efforts to lead and modernize key trade agreements in the region. The bill also directs the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) to articulate a long-term trade plan with China as the initial Phase One Agreement comes to a close.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:57:46Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/icymi-congresswoman-miller-urges-us-lead-trade-china-votes-against-democrats"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0404880158603191, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
