HOPE for Haitian Prosperity Act of 2025
This bill extends preferential U.S. trade benefits for Haitian exports until 2037 (previously ending in 2025) under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act. It requires Haitian producers to comply with core labor standards and Haitian labor laws related to minimum wages, working hours, and safe conditions to maintain these benefits. The bill also creates a new technical assistance program where the U.S. Trade Representative will work with Haitian government agencies, businesses, labor groups, and trade support institutions to boost exports - focusing on agricultural processing, apparel sector competitiveness, and export strategy development. These changes directly affect Haitian exporters seeking U.S. trade preferences and U.S. agencies administering trade programs.
