Trade Policy
When it comes to Washington, there is
no trade issue more bipartisan right now
than China. I fully expect to see Congress
legislate new economic and trade tools
to address Chinese unfair trade practices
and threats to U.S. national security,
particularly when it comes to critical
goods and technology. This could include
a move to strip China of its PNTR status
and lock in Trump’s China tariffs, which
the Biden Administration maintained and
expanded. While I don’t see momentum to
negotiate a comprehensive FTA again in
the near future, it’s certainly possible that
Congress would give the Administration
authority to negotiate critical mineral
and other supply chain deals with U.S.
trading partners, as an alternative to
overdependence on China.”
