United States-Uruguay Economic Partnership Act

This bill updates U.S. trade and immigration policies to strengthen economic ties with Uruguay. It adds Uruguay to the list of beneficiary countries under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act, allowing U.S. businesses to benefit from preferential trade terms. The bill also requires the U.S. government to review Uruguay’s eligibility for the Visa Waiver Program within 90 days, assessing whether Uruguayan citizens could travel to the U.S. without visas and outlining steps Uruguay might need to take to qualify. These provisions directly affect U.S. businesses engaged with Uruguay and Uruguayan citizens seeking business visas or visa-free travel to the U.S.
