Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) will introduce legislation on March 21 to revoke China’s permanent normal trade relations status with the United States.

If passed, the Ending Normal Trade Relations With China Act of 2023 (pdf) would withdraw China’s normal trade relations status within two years, subject Chinese imports to higher tariffs, and afford the president the authority to increase duties even higher.
