S 958 United States Senate · 118th Congress

American Economic Diplomacy Act

This bill amends the Trade Act of 1974 to require the annual report on trade agreements and national trade policy to explain how trade objectives support two key national strategies: the national defense strategy (under 10 U.S.C. §113(g)) and the national security strategy (under 50 U.S.C. §3043). It directly affects agencies like the Department of Commerce that prepare these annual reports. The change adds a new requirement for agencies to explicitly link trade priorities to defense and security goals in their reporting. The bill does not create new programs or funding but modifies how existing trade policy is documented and justified.
