The Leader’s Floor Lookout: Friday, April 28, 2023

Here’s what to watch for on the House Floor today:
 
Prioritizing American Manufacturers Over Chinese Interests

Once again, Democrats’ radical ‘Green New Deal’ agenda is putting China above American manufacturers. 

President Biden’s June 2022 Emergency Proclamation allows imports of Chinese solar products with no additional tariffs for two years, guaranteeing unfair import competition for American solar manufacturers. 

Under this proclamation, Chinese companies can circumvent tariffs, and any tariffs imposed as punishment wouldn’t go into effect. They need to be held accountable for trade cheating that kills competition. 

American manufacturers deserve to compete on a fair playing field.
 

Rep. Bill Posey’s legislation, H.J. Res. 39, would prevent the Commerce Department from implementing their final rule that puts the Biden Administration’s June 2022 Emergency Proclamation into action and protect fair competition.

House Republicans will always support American manufacturers over the interests of China.
