U.S. Senators Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Katie Britt (R-AL) introduced the bipartisan bill Fighting Trade Cheats Act this week, legislation designed to strengthen U.S. trade law enforcement and empower American manufacturers to take action against companies that commit customs fraud.
The bill takes aim at businesses that make foreign-made goods sold in the United States and would allow private companies to sue foreign producers that harm American companies.
“In Wisconsin, our workers and manufacturers produce world-class products — and they deserve a fair shot to compete. But, too often, foreign companies and countries, like China, rig the system, undermine our companies, and put Wisconsinites out of work,” Senator Baldwin said.
