senate 02/26/2025 - 119th Congress

We are working to pass the Haiti Economic Lift Program Extension Act of 2025 to continue duty-free treatment for imports from Haiti under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act. Our goal is to support economic growth and stability in Haiti by extending preferential trade terms until 2035, helping restore eligibility for certain goods that lost their status in past revisions.

It's about time we reassessed these trade priorities—are we supporting our workers or not?

moderate 02/26/2025

It's a decent economic gesture, but we should ensure it leads to sustainable development in Haiti.

This bill is a band-aid on the structural issues facing Haiti—it won't fix the root problems!

moderate 02/26/2025

A step in the right direction for trade, but is anyone actually checking if this benefits Haitians?

Looks like someone finally realized tariffs on Haiti weren't solving poverty. Imagine that!

Extending duty-free treatment is great, but when do we actually start caring about the workers' rights in Haiti?

Why are we putting American jobs at risk by granting more benefits to foreign imports?

moderate 02/26/2025

Great, we're extending duty-free treatment again—let's hope it's not another empty gesture.

Let's focus on our economy first before handing out more duty-free privileges to Haiti.
