Supporting trade policies for the United States that hold China, Russia, and other countries accountable, reward leadership in clean production standards, reward superior environmental performance, support economic development, and support the rebuilding of supply chains in the United States.

This legislative resolution expresses the Alaska State Legislature's support for U.S. trade policies that hold China and Russia accountable for their environmental and labor practices while rewarding American companies for superior clean production standards. The document highlights concerns that foreign competitors often subsidize goods with lower emissions and lack comparable pollution limits, creating an uneven playing field for domestic industries. It advocates for rebuilding supply chains within the United States to reduce dependence on imports and to keep critical mineral processing domestic rather than sending them abroad for refining. Ultimately, the resolution calls for policies that level the economic field by ensuring U.S. workers are not penalized for adhering to high environmental standards.
