With former President Donald Trump and the political cover he provided gone from Washington, GOP senators are turning away from some of the most restrictive China trade policies his administration instituted
The disagreements on trade are the biggest single threat to the overall China bill, whose foundational provision — $52 billion for semiconductor manufacturing — is a priority for leaders of both parties. The White House is desperate for a midterm-year win that passing the law would represent. But it is a delicate balancing act: change the Senate trade title too much, and risk essential GOP support in the Senate, where the bill must garner 60 votes.
Still, many protectionist groups that cheered Trump’s policies think the bill is too friendly to corporate giants who have outsourced their supply chains to China — particularly given that the legislation that is supposed to confront Beijing economically. CPA and others are hoping to leverage rising public sentiment against free trade in both parties to strengthen the House’s hand in conference. CPA has been shopping around athey conducted with Morning Consult that shows broad support for aspects of the House Democrats’ trade title among Democrats, Republicans and Independents.
Both priorities will face resistance in the conference negotiations. Renewing Trade Adjustment Assistance has typically happened alongside a vote on Trade Promotion Authority, which grants the president authority to negotiate new trade deals. Without the enhanced trade authority, Republicans have balked at passing expanded relief payments.
