Trade Policy Reports Must Now Include National Security Assessment
This Act mandates that annual reports on U.S. trade policy and agreements must now include an assessment of their impact on the national defense and security strategies. This change ensures that future trade decisions are explicitly aligned with the nation's security goals. While it doesn't directly alter consumer prices, it emphasizes security considerations in global supply chains and trade negotiations.
Key points
Requires trade objectives to be evaluated based on how they support the U.S. national defense strategy.
