Congresswoman Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.), a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee, urged the Biden Administration to prioritize clear trade goals to benefit American workers, farmers, and manufacturers. During the Ways and Means Committee hearing on the Biden Administration’s 2022 Trade Policy Agenda, Congresswoman Walorski encouraged United States Trade Representative (USTR) Ambassador Katherine Tai to deliver trade relief for Americans while taking on the Chinese government’s predatory trade practices.
“We must hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable for its egregious human rights atrocities and unfair trade practices,” said Congresswoman Walorski. “I believe we can do that while also ensuring that American workers and small businesses don’t pay the price.”
