UNITED Act

The UNITED Act would grant the President authority to negotiate a comprehensive trade agreement with the United Kingdom, with the goal of addressing tariff and nontariff barriers affecting various industries, products, and services. This authority would expire on March 1, 2029. The bill would allow the President to modify existing tariffs or duty treatments to implement any resulting agreement, subject to certain limitations.

The bill includes congressional oversight provisions, requiring the President to consult with and notify Congress before entering into an agreement or making tariff proclamations. If enacted, this legislation could potentially reshape trade relationships between the U.S. and UK, affecting prices and availability of imported goods for American consumers and businesses. The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House.
