UNITED Act

The UNITED Act would grant the President authority to negotiate a comprehensive trade agreement with the United Kingdom, with negotiations covering tariffs and nontariff barriers affecting various industries, products, and service sectors. This authority would expire on March 1, 2029. The bill would also allow the President to modify existing tariffs or duty treatments to implement such an agreement, subject to certain limitations.

The legislation 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 bill would potentially reshape trade relations between the United States and the UK, affecting prices and availability of imported goods, as well as opportunities for American exporters. The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full Senate.
