Promoting stability through economic opportunity in Haiti and Sub-Saharan Africa provides opportunities for American consumers, creates new supply chains, and encourages those nations to look to the United States as a model for political and economic freedom, rather than to communist China. Likewise, empowering Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) with additional tools to address counterfeit products and protect American intellectual property is vital to advancing legal trade, now and into the future. “I appreciate the partnership of Chairman Jason Smith and bipartisan supporters across the committee in moving constructive trade legislation forward, and I look forward to continuing our work to see these bills through the legislative process.” BACKGROUND: The Ways and Means Committee advanced three pieces of trade legislation in today’s mark-up | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |
