S 348: STABLE Trade Policy Act

Stopping Tariffs on Allies and Bolstering Legislative Exercise of Trade Policy Act or the STABLE Trade Policy Act

This bill requires the President to receive congressional approval in order to proclaim or increase the rates of duty (i.e., tariffs) on articles imported into the United States from covered countries. Under the bill, a covered country is (1) a member country of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), (2) a country that has been designated as a major non-NATO ally under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (e.g., Australia, Israel, and Japan), or (3) a country that has in effect a free trade agreement with the United States.

Specifically, the President may proclaim a new or additional covered duty (e.g., a duty proclaimed pursuant to Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962) on an article imported into the United States from a covered country only if (1) the President submits to Congress a request for authorization to proclaim or increase the duty and the request contains specified information, such as a description of the objective the President seeks to achieve with the action and an assessment of the likely impact on the U.S. economy; and (2) a joint resolution of approval is enacted into law.

HR 36: MEGOBARI Act

Mobilizing and Enhancing Georgia’s Options for Building Accountability, Resilience, and Independence Act or the MEGOBARI Act

This bill requires the President to impose sanctions on certain foreign persons, including Georgian government officials, who are undermining Georgia’s security or stability.

Specifically, the bill requires the President to impose visa-blocking sanctions and authorizes the President to impose property-blocking sanctions on any foreign person the President determines is involved with actions or policies to undermine Georgia’s security or stability. Immediate family members of a sanctioned individual are also subject to these sanctions if they benefited from the sanctioned individual’s conduct.

The bill also requires the President to impose visa-blocking sanctions on the following foreign persons if the President determines such persons knowingly engaged in significant acts of corruption or acts of violence or intimidation in relation to the blocking of Euro-Atlantic integration in Georgia:

any individual who served as a member of the Georgian parliament or as a senior official of a Georgian political party on or after January 1, 2014;
any individual who is serving as an official in a leadership position on behalf of the Georgian government; and
any immediate family member of such officials who benefited from their conduct.

Additionally, for the purpose of potential imposition of sanctions under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the President must determine whether there are foreign persons who, on or after the bill’s enactment, have engaged in (1) significant corruption in Georgia, or (2) acts to undermine Georgia’s security or stability.

HR 94: To terminate the designation of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan as a major non-NATO ally, and for other purposes.

This bill removes Pakistan’s designation as a major non-NATO ally, a status that allows for various benefits such as access to excess U.S. defense supplies and participation in cooperative defense research and development projects.

The President may not redesignate Pakistan as a major non-NATO ally without certifying that the country has taken various actions against the Haqqani Network, including continuing to conduct military actions against the Taliban-affiliated group and prosecuting its leaders.
