UNITED Act

S 776 (UNITED Act) authorizes the President to negotiate a new comprehensive trade agreement with the United Kingdom to reduce tariff and non-tariff barriers affecting U.S. businesses and workers. It requires negotiations to begin within 180 days of enactment, mandates specific limits on tariff changes (e.g., no duty reductions below 50% of current rates for most goods), and sets a deadline of March 1, 2029, for concluding the agreement. The bill also requires congressional consultation during negotiations and aligns implementation with existing trade law procedures, directly affecting U.S. trade policy and future U.S.-UK economic relations.
