house 01/03/2025 - 119th Congress

We're working on a resolution to establish a Joint Ad Hoc Committee on Trade Responsibilities. Our aim is to develop a plan to shift the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative's duties to Congress, aligning with the Constitution's Article I, Section 8 mandate. This initiative will enhance Congressional oversight and involvement in shaping U.S. trade policies.
