Trade

Recommit to and strengthen relationships with trading partners to reform and modernize international trade rules and institutions, such as the WTO.

Accelerate efforts to release a clear, comprehensive U.S.–China strategy that covers trade and economic priorities to address problematic Chinese policies and behaviors, refines current enforcement tools to avoid undue harm for manufacturers and workers in the United States and provides business certainty.

Support and continue to improve U.S. export promotion and export financing tools.

Ensure export controls and investment restrictions are tailored to address legitimate national security concerns and coordinated with allies when possible.

Modernize U.S. and foreign customs operations to better facilitate legitimate trade and improve enforcement tools to target illicit trade in the United States and across foreign borders.

Make the U.S. tariff code more competitive by enacting a new Miscellaneous Tariff Bill and the Generalized System of Preferences.
