Two U.S. senators on April 16 unveiled a bipartisan proposal that seeks to strengthen domestic trade remedy laws and protect U.S. workers from what they called China’s “unfair trade practices.”

Sens. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) introduced the Eliminating Global Market Distortions to Protect American Jobs Act, saying in a statement that strengthening U.S. laws will ensure they remain “effective tools” to fight back against Beijing’s trade practices.
